LINTON KIRK
This is not only an historic monument, it is also a living shrine to which many make their way each year. It is a place where the ultimate values of life become plain and where faith is restored and hope renewed.

In the solitude of this sacred place, far from the stress and strains of modern day living, perhaps, a person can find themself. (Linton Kirk Visitor Book)
Church of Scotland is facing severe financial pressures as a result of declining membership, ageing congregations, and fewer ministers. Throughout the country, congregations are being united, linked or even dissolved, and a number of churches placed on a disposal list and earmarked for sale. This includes Linton Kirk in the Scottish Borders, one of the oldest and most beautiful churches in Scotland.
The Linton Kirk Heritage Appeal (LKHA) has the opportunity to purchase the church and has been granted a six month exclusivity period by the Church of Scotland to the beginning of April 2026.
900 Years of Worship
Described by many as a place of great beauty, peace and spirituality, Linton Kirk celebrates 900 years of continuous worship in 2027. LKHA believes this is the ideal time to give the church its next best life by safeguarding its history and heritage for future generations.
