history
A church building on the site was mentioned as early as the 13th century. 1587 met there after the execution of Maria Stuart's negotiators of Jacob VI. and the House of Stuart . However, today's Foulden Parish Church dates back to 1786.
Due to the location in the contested Scottish-English border area, there was a Bastle House west of Foulden . The last resident, George Ramsay , died in 1592. There are no remains of the building today. For a time, Foulden was a Burgh of Barony . The historic tithe barn of Foulden is located on the western edge of the village.
In 1971 there were 106 inhabitants in Foulden.
