'''History—'''<br>The origin of this congregation must be traced to a point more remote than its actual formation. Prior to the year 1772, the village in which the place of worship was built gave name to a distinct parish, and was the seat of the parish church. In 1772, the parish of Roberton was united with that of Wiston, which adjoins it on the north and east. The church in Wiston then became common to both parishes and the one in Roberton was left unoccupied. This union was strongly opposed by the parishioners of Roberton, partly on account of the distance it caused them to travel, partly because of their dislike of the minister of Wiston, and partly, and perhaps chiefly, because of their cherished attachment to the place where they had been accustomed to worship. The church was built in 1801. A new church was later built in 1872.<br>'''Source:''' ''Annals and Statistics of the United Presbyterian Church'', by Rev. William MacKelvie, D.D., pub. 1873.

In 1843 supply was granted to those who adhered to the Free Church in this parish. The church, on Chisholm estate, beside the Borthwick water, was built and opened in December of that year. Decline of the population brought a great decrease in the membership, and for many years it had a struggling existence. In 1852 it was reduced to the status of a preaching station. At first it belonged to the Presbytery of Selkirk, but in 1880 it was transferred to that of Jedburgh.<br>'''Membership:''' 1848, 60; 1900, 32. <br>'''Source:''' ''Annals of the Free Church of Scotland,'' 1943–1900, ed.
