Bedrule

About Bedrule

Bedrule is a tranquil hamlet in the Rule Valley, just over 8 miles north-east of Hawick.There has been a place of worship at Bedrule Kirk, in its peaceful setting, for many centuries. The present building dates from 1804, and has superb modern stained glass windows. A mound nearby marks the site of Bedrule Castle, the 16th century seat of the Turnbulls. The route crosses the 18th century Bedrule Bridge over the Rule Water - a name said to mean ‘roaring’, which is appropriate when the water is in spate.
