Southdean Church - the interior Southdean Kirk, opened in 1876, is the latest in a line of churches which could back as far as the 8th. - 9th. century. An old story from Southdean Parish was of the Borders Reivers having a son baptised in a font which could immerse the whole body of the baby. The reiver would always request of the vicar not to baptise the boy's right arm - that would be carrying out 'some develish deeds in the future'. The reivers, when not fighting the English, fought amongst themselves. Southdean Church only opens for up to six services a year.
