Hutton and Corrie Parish Church

Hutton and Corrie is a parish in Dumfriesshire, located seven miles north-east of Lockerbie. The name of Hutton appears to be derived from the term Holt, signifying an elevated piece of ground or a mound of earth, from some mounds of artificial construction in the district, used in ancient times as seats of deliberation, and for the administration of justice. Corrie, which was joined to Hutton soon after the Reformation, derives its appellation from a rivulet which runs through it, and the name of which, in the Gaelic language, signifies "a narrow glen", the stream issuing from a glen.

The parish church, built in 1764, is a Category A listed building.
