Travel Guide

Chirnside Parish Church graveyard An interesting mix of headstones at the corner of the square. 4 squares converge in this graveyard. The kirkyard was the site of a famous resurrection in 1764 when Marjorie Halcrow Erskine, the second wife of the Revd Henry Erskine, was laid to rest in a shallow grave by the sexton who later returned to steal her jewellery. While he was trying to cut off her finger to steal a ring, the corpse awoke and dashed off across the kirkyard to the manse door, which she pleaded the minister to open ‘For I’m fair clemmed wi’the cauld.’ Apparently, in her additional years of life, she gave birth to two sons, Ralph and Ebenezer Erskine, who founded the Secession Church. The fate of the sexton is not known
