Notes
The vague NGR given is based on the assumption that the church of Old Roxburgh church was located near the Castle (NT713337), the castle itself sometimes referred to in sources as the castle of Auld or Old Roxburgh, and Old Roxburgh church is distinguished from those churches within the later burgh (St James and Holy Sepulchre).
