From the Wikipedia article
Abbotrule is a hamlet south of the B6357 road, in the Scottish Borders area of Scotland, on Rule Burn, east of the Rule Water. Places nearby include Bedrule, Hallrule, Spittal-on-Rule, Ruletownhead, Bonchester Bridge, Denholm, Southdean, Hobkirk, Ferniehirst Castle and the Wauchope Forest. Abbotrule was the property of the church from the 12th-Century to 1560, and thereafter a country estate successively owned by Kerrs, Hendersons and Cunninghams. By 1956, the estate seat, Abbotrule House, had been demolished. Abbotrule was a parish until 1777, when it was divided between two other parishes; the parish church at Abbotrule was deroofed sometime shortly thereafter.

Background
History
The original name of Abbotrule is said to have been Rule Hervie before it became the property of the Church. Prior to 1135 David I of Scotland granted it to the canons of Jedburgh Abbey. About 1165 William the Lion confirmed the grant, and after this the name was changed to Abbotrule. The rectory of Abbotrule appears in Bagimonds Roll of c.1280. Abbotrule continued in the possession of the monks until the Scottish Reformation in 1560, at which time the lands and mill yielded £40 yearly. After the Reformation the advowson was vested in the Crown, which continued as the ecclesiastical patron until the suppression of the parish in 1777 and its division between Hobkirk and Southdean parishes.…
