Ancrum Old Parish Church, Category B listed church in Ancrum, Scotland.
The Tudor-style parish church features mullioned windows, transomed details, and a gabled porch with decorative lead hound heads at the entrance.
Established in 1136 as a monastic settlement by David I of Scotland, the church structure was rebuilt in 1762 and underwent extensive repairs in 1832.
The church bears the alternative name 'The Livingston Church' after Reverend John Livingston, who participated in arranging King Charles II's return to Scotland.
Located half a mile northwest of Ancrum village on the B4600 road from the A68, the church includes a burial ground for the local community.
The name Ancrum originates from Gaelic 'alne cromb', meaning the bend in the Ale River, reflecting the geographic connection to the local waterway.
