War & Religion on the Tweed

Join me on my latest “adventure??” as I journey the Eastern section of the River Tweed which forms the Anglo-Scots Border.
The reason for our journey is to find the lost, abandoned and forgotten chapel of St Cuthbert.
But why was the chapel built, and does it even exist??
