St Boswells

In 1900, the St Boswells congregation became a United Free Church of Scotland when the Free Church of Scotland and the United Presbyterian Church united.

In 1929 the Church of Scotland and the United Free Church reunited and the St Boswells congregation took the name of St Modans to distinguish themselves from St Boswells Old Parish Church at Benrig.

Both churches continued to serve the community until the congregations united in 1940 and the Old Parish Church was abandoned. It was demolished to its foundations in about 1952.

Fragments of the stonework can be seen built into the present building. St Modans Church became St Boswells Parish Church. It was extensively renovated in the late 1950s.
