What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Borthwick Church as Cross(s) (8th Century) - (10th Century), Font (15th Century). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Borthwick Church is associated with Saint Bathan, a 7th-century Irish monk and missionary linked to the spread of Christianity in southern Scotland. The site's early crosses and 15th-century font suggest a long tradition of Christian worship, though specific local folklore or healing traditions connected to the church are not widely documented.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
