Fogo Parish Church

Scottish Borders

In Person

There has been worship on the site of Fogo Parish Church for more than eight hundred years. The present building traces its history back to the Scottish reformation and has recently been enhanced with a chapel dedicated to Saint Cuthbert (and a pilgrimage walk to the church which will be completed by summer 2022). The King's Own Scottish Borderers font is now housed in the church. As an A-listed building, it is recognised as being an example of all that is best in a Scottish village church, in an idyllic rural setting. It is a living church with a congregation which has grown in size every year for the last six years and which continues to use the silver communion-ware which is said to be the oldest silverware still in use in Scotland.

Fogo Parish Church is one of the most beautiful ancient churches in Berwickshire with a history stretching back at least 900 years but which today houses a modern, enthusiastic and lively congregation. The Church is by definition a living record of 900 years of local heritage told by the building itself, its many artefacts, exhibitions about St Cuthbert and our festivals throughout the centuries, and the community it serves.

Visitors will be shown around the church, will be able to walk the pilgrimage pathway around the church grounds and visit the chapel dedicated to Saint Cuthbert.
