Duns
Duns (population 2,594) is a town in the Scottish Boundaries, Scotland. It was the county town of the historical county of Berwickshire. Duns has the largest purchasing facilities in a distance of 15 miles (24 kilometres) and up until 28 January 2015 housed the Berwickshire Sheriff Court, it no more has any kind of primary workplaces of the Scottish Borders Council, but merely preserves a Registry Office. Because the very early 1990s Duns and its immediate vicinity have actually seen substantial housing development, some debatable. A development near the golf club on the road to Longformacus simply outside Duns is one such instance, as it was built upon greenfield sites. Opposite the old Berwickshire High School a new modern Senior high school has actually been constructed to change the mid-1950s buildings in which the college was previously housed. The new Senior high school opened in February 2009. The old senior high school is now being redeveloped into a primary school, with the rugby as well as football club making use of the old playing fields.
