The quoad sacra Parish of Caddonfoot which comprises part of the former Parishes of Galashiels, Innerleithen, Selkirk, Stow and Yarrow is bounded on the north by the County of Midlothian, on the east by the Parish of Galashiels, on the south by the Parishes of Selkirk and Yarrow and on the west by the Parishes of Innerleithen and Traquair.
Previously partly in the County of Midlothian and partly in the County of Peebles, Caddonfoot existed as an administrative unit from 1898 to 1975.
The parish church and cemetery sit above the A707 in the Tweed valley. The cemetery is managed by Scottish Borders Council.
Old Caddonfoot Monumental Inscriptions have been recorded by Nigel Hardie, Selkirk Genealogy Transcriptions and are available from Borders FHS.
