by King David II with the grain and fulling mills of Innerleithan their lands and rich
multures. Its advowson seems to have belonged to the bailies of the burgh and its
revenues at the Reformation were reported to be £21..3..8. It was a long narrow
building and stood on the bank of the Eddleston or Peebles Water on the site
which came afterwards to be a part of the High Street of the new town "
