Kirk Yetholm is a village in the Scottish Borders, 8 miles (13 km) south east of Kelso and less than 1 mile (1.6 km) west of the border. The first mention is of its church in the 13th century. Its sister village is Town Yetholm which lies half a mile across the Bowmont Water. The population of the parish was recorded as 737 in the 2001 census. The Border Hotel is the official end of the Pennine Way. Kirk Yetholm was for centuries the headquarters of the Romani people (Gypsies) in Scotland. The last king of the Gypsies was crowned in 1898 and the Gypsies have been integrated and are no longer a separate ethnic minority. A memorial stone can be found on the village green.
