Duns
Duns (population 2,594) is a town in the Scottish Boundaries, Scotland. It was the county town of the historic county of Berwickshire. Duns has the biggest shopping centers in a distance of 15 miles (24 kilometres) as well as until 28 January 2015 housed the Berwickshire Sheriff Court, it no longer has any type of primary workplaces of the Scottish Borders Council, but just keeps a Registry Office. Since the early 1990s Duns and its immediate vicinity have seen considerable housing development, some questionable. An advancement near the golf club on the road to Longformacus simply outside Duns is one such instance, as it was built on greenfield websites. Opposite the old Berwickshire High School a brand-new contemporary Secondary school has actually been created to replace the mid-1950s structures in which the school was previously housed. The new Secondary school opened up in February 2009. The old high school is currently being redeveloped into a primary school, with the rugby and football club utilizing the old playing fields.
