Stobo Kirk, Category A listed parish church in Scottish Borders, United Kingdom
The stone structure features a nave, sanctuary, and a tower rebuilt during the 16th century, displaying elements of Romanesque architectural design.
The religious site dates back to the 6th century when Saint Kentigern established the original church, which was later replaced by the current building in the 12th century.
Inside the church, medieval wall paintings, ancient burial stones, and a damaged Celtic cross discovered during restoration work illustrate Scottish religious traditions.
The Church of Scotland congregation holds services every Sunday at 11:30 AM, and the building remains accessible to visitors during daylight hours.
The church walls contain a standing stone and three grave slabs from the 14th century, including one dedicated to Robert Vesey, a former vicar of Stobo.
