history
The settlement of the area can be traced back to the Iron Age . The remains of an early Iron Age hill fort can be found on Peniel Heugh , a hill on the opposite bank of the Teviot . Only a short distance away there is another, more recent Fort. The Clan Kerr acquired the lands in the 16th century and built there the mansion Monteviot House .
Today's Crailing Church was built around 1775 and revised in the course of the 19th century. In the 1880s there was a school in Crailing that could accommodate 81 students.
In 1803 the mansion Crailing House was built on the southern edge of Crailing .
