Stichill

Stichill is a village and civil parish in the historic county of Roxburghshire, a division of the Scottish Borders. Situated 2 miles (3.2 km) north of the Burgh of Kelso, Stichill lies north of the Eden Water and 5 miles (8.0 km) from the English Border at Coldstream.

Stichill is mentioned as a manor of Sir Thomas Randolph, later the Earl of Moray, when in 1308 it was considered forfeited to Edward I of England and granted to Adam Gordon.

Kenneth Young's biography of Alec Douglas-Home discusses the historical association of the Home family with Stichill, referencing the Battle of Flodden and later ties between the Scottish and English aristocracy.
