Abbotrule (Lat. Rula Herevei, 'Rule Hervey,' in 1165), a quondam parish of Roxburghshire, divided equally in 1777 between the parishes of Hobkirk and Southdean. It extended about 3 miles along the E bank of the upper part of Rule Water: and its church, annexed to Jedburgh by David I., still stands in ruins 2 miles NE of Hobkirk (Orig. Paroch. Scot., i. 349). The estate of Abbotrule, comprising 2348 acres, was exposed to sale in 1818 at an upset price of £35,000, and now belongs to D. Henderson, Esq.
