The Minister of Borthwick stated
that he never heard of this church being dedicated to any Saint Field Rem. [--]17th February 1853.
Lockerworth church was consecrated to St. Kentigern
Chalmers Caledonia vol. [volume] 2. p. [page] 821
The old church of Borthwick, the ruins of which still stand in the church yard and which from the style of its architecture is evidently of the same age as nearly with the castle is well deserving of notice. It is beside what was formerly the place when the altar stood, that the effigies of Lord and Lady Borthwick are lying. When used as the parish it must have been an object of veneration
to the parishioners and have harmonized finely with the other objects of antiquity in its neighbourhood.
Indeed it was of itself fitted to have given a character to the surrounding scenery. Its roof like
that of the castle is covered with stone flags curiously joined and in some places laid diagonally. It
was burnt in May 1775,
The old church which was a Popish building in the form of a cross was in May 1775 burnt to the
ground. two of the heritors had five places in it. The day before the accident happened the fires had
been lighted as usual and sufficient attention not having been paid in laying off the coals, they gradually com-
municated with the wood, and on the following night, before it was observed the roof had fallen in
and loose a vestige of timber was seen.

Ext: [Extract] from Stat. [Statistical ] Account of Borthwick
Currie Mill may also be mentioned on another account as
among the antiquities of the Parish. It was built says
tradition by the original possessor of the surrounding domain
so that the Lord of the new castle might not be without hearing
of the clack of its wheel. It continues a separate property to the
present day. |

Borthwick Castle
{15th Century}
"Below the church, on the west bank of the Gore at the
confluence of the two stands the castle of Borthwick
which was built on the ancient site of Locherworth Moat."
Chalmers Caledonia
vol. [volume] 2 p. [page] 820
Extract form Stat: [Statistical] Account. 1839.
"The castle of Borthwick is remarkable for the beauty of its
proportions, the excellence of its masonry. and the impressive
effect which it produces on all beholders. It has been pro-
nounced by the best judges to be by far the finest specimen
of that very numerous class of Scottish Castles. No part
of the castle has been inhabited for more than a century." |

Parish of Borthwick
Extract from the Old Statistical Account Volume 13 Page 633.
"About the end of the 14th or beginning of the 15th century lived a Sir William Borthwick who
"being a man of very great parts was employed as an Ambassador on several important negotions and
"concerned in most of the public transactions of his time. This William appears to have been created
"Lord Borthwick before the year 1430; for in October that year at the baptism of the Kings two sons several
"Knights were created and among the rest William son and heir of Lord Borthwick. He obtained
"from James 1st of Scotland a licence to build a castle on the lands of Lochwarret. A stately and
"most magnificient castle was accordingly reared, and afterwards became the chief seat and
"title of the family. This amazing mass of building is yet upon the whole very entire and of
"astonishing strength." _________________ |

ROMAN ROAD [E of Borthwick Castle] |
Roman Road
Roman Road |
Reverend [?Mr. / William] Leslie
John Anderson |
013 |
An old road which lies a short distance east of Borthwick Castle, it is supposed to be a portion of the Roman road, that is known to have passed near Currie, there are about 300 yards of it lying in a South West and North West direction and which exhibits some signs of rude pavement, it runs up the face of a hill where it seems to have taken a turn, but after this bend takes place it loses every vistige of pavement.
John Anderson a very intelligent gardener at Currie, recolects a Dyke having been built of large stones taken from this old road. The Reverend [?Mr. / William] Leslie incumbent of the parish says that although there is a strong presumption in the minds of some of the intelligent inhabitants, that this is the Roman way, yet there is nothing save its appearance to establish this truth of the assertion, and he recommends the accuracy of it to be considerd doubful, |

Crichton Church
"It is a fine old building in the form of a cross and was
founded in 1449 for a provost
nine prebendaries and two
singing boys out of the rents
of Crichton and Locherwart
Within the last twenty years
the Church has undergone a

Parish of Crichton [Page] 35
On the estate of Crichton and at a small distance from
the church stands Crichton Castle, famous in Scotch Story
and associated with many of its most remarkable events Sir Walter Scott in his notes to his marmion
thus writes regarding this old ruin, A large ruinous castle on the banks of the Lyne built at different times
and with a very different regard to splendour & accommodation. The oldest part of the building is a narrow keep or tower
such as formed the mansion of a lesser Scottish Baron; but so many additions have been made to it that there
now a large court yard surrounded by buildings of different ages. The eastern front of the court is raised
above a portico and decorated with entablatures bearing anchors. All theses stones in this front are cut into diamond facets
the angular projections of which have an uncommonly rich appearance. The inside of this part of the building appears to have
contained a gallery of great length and uncommon elegance. Access was given to it by a magnificent staircase now
quite destroyed. The soffits are ornamented with twining cordege & rosettes and the whole seems to have been far
more splendid than was usual in Scottish castles.

ROMAN ROAD (supposed) |
Roman Road |
Rev. [Reverend] W. Leslie Borthwick
John Anderson Gardener Currie |
013 |
This old road which lies a short distance east of Borthwick Castle is supposed to be the portion of the Roman Road which is known to have passed near Currie at the time of, and subsequent to, the Roman occupation of the country, there are about 300 yards of it lying in a South east & N. [North] west direction and which exhibit some signs of rude pavement, it runs up the face of a hill where it seems to have taken an acute turn, but after this bend takes place it loses every vestige of pavement, it being a common cart track evidently very modern, but for the 300 yards before alluded to, they have the appearance of great antiquity, besides their presenting the appearance of a causeway. John Anderson a very intelligent gardener at Currie, recollects a dyke having been built of large stones taken from this old road, however the Revd. [Reverend] Mr. Leslie incumbent of the parish says that although there is a strong presumption in the minds of some of the intelligent inhabitants, that this is the Roman way. Yet there is nothing save its appearance to establish the truth of the assertion, & he recommends the accuracy of this object to be considered doubtful, with the exception of the Fish wifes' Causeway near Portobello this is the only remnant of the ancient road extant in Midlothian. |
