From the Wikipedia article
Sprouston is a village, parish and former feudal barony in the Scottish Borders area of Scotland, as well as the historic county of Roxburghshire, located 2 miles north-east of Kelso. The village is close to the south bank of the river Tweed (200 yards away), which forms the northern boundary of the parish. The eastern border of the parish is also the border with England and with the parish of Carham, Northumberland in that country, Sprouston being the last Scottish parish on the south side of the Tweed. The parish of Linton borders Sprouston to the south and the parishes of Eckford and Kelso to the west. The parish forms a rough square shape about 4 miles across and has an area of 8637 acres. Sprouston Community Council covers roughly the same area as the civil parish.

Background
History
The earliest mention of this parish in an authentic document is in the foundation charter of Selkirk of 1114 and it is also mentioned in the charter given to Kelso Abbey in 1128. Sprouston Kirk, completed in 1781, is a replica of an older (12th century) building which was sited nearby. The original parish of Sprouston, in the 18th century, belonged to the Duke of Roxburghe, whose seat is at Floors Castle. The Kirk is known locally as "The Sweet Pea Kirk", a reference to an event commemorated in Henry Donald's book 'A Bunch of Sweet Peas', which tells the story of the Reverend Denholm Fraser and his wife, who took 3rd and 1st place respectively in the 1911 Daily Mail Sweet Pea Competition.…
