There is physical evidence of structures and items that date back from the Roman times when this area was occupied by Roman forces. In addition, there are traces of an old Anglian homestead too.
Since Spott and this area in general was very close to the borders of England, this place was often mentioned in history books as a place of occasional conflicts between Scots and English. For instance, the first battle of Dunbar which took place in the end of the 13th century in which the forces of the Kingdom of Scotland fought the forces of the Kingdom of England was within the village borders of Spott. About 350 years later the second battle of Dunbar was fought close to Spott and in this war the Scots army defeated Oliver Cromwell’s army.

It is interesting to know that Spott was the place where the last executions of witches (witch hunts of Scotland) were performed. The last “witch” was executed in 1705. Today Spott is a very small and quiet village where most people work or spend most of their days in Dunbar.
