Stichill Kirk is an ancient church situated in the village of Stichill in the old county of Roxburghshire, now part of the Scottish Borders Council in Scotland. The village lies 2 miles (3.2 km) north of the abbey town of Kelso on the B6643.
The meaning of the name 'Stichill' is thought to come from the Gaelic signifying a declivity meaning a downward slope, as on a hill. The first mention of the church came in 1124 when Gilleb was described as being the Presbyter of Stichil. In the early years, the church of Stichil was in the patronage of the Earls of Dunbar but later in the century, the monks of Kelso obtained both the parish and the church. That situation did not change until the Scottish Reformation in the 1560s.
