Over £1m has been allocated to the five which are described as being of important architectural merit with funds used to tackle wet and dry rot, leaks, re-pointing, re-roofing and conservation.
Brechin Cathedral was built in the late 900’s by King Kenneth II of Scotland and features a 14th century round tower, one of only two remaining in the country.
Innerleithen was built in 1865 by Thomas Pilkington with later additions, it requires essential repairs to roof and gables.
St Mary’s was built in 1910 to replace an original building gutted by fire.
St Salvador’s was designed by Gothic Revival architect G.F. Bodley and contains nationally significant interior decorative schemes.
