About Gordon
Gordon is a small village in Berwickshire, set among the gently rolling farmland of the Scottish Borders. It is a quiet place with a strong sense of community — the kind of village where neighbours know each other, local events bring people together, and the landscape changes slowly with the seasons.
The village has a history reaching back several centuries, reflected in its church, its memorial to those who gave their lives in two world wars, and the Henderson Memorial — dedicated to George Stuart Henderson VC, born at East Gordon Farm and one of the village’s most remarkable sons.
Community Life

Gordon Common Good SCIO manages shared assets and supports local activities, the Village Hall provides a central gathering place, and Gordon and Westruther Community Council gives the community a formal voice with Scottish Borders Council and other public bodies.
