Duns
Duns (population 2,594) is a town in the Scottish Borders, Scotland. It was the county town of the historical region of Berwickshire. Duns has the largest shopping centers in a distance of 15 miles (24 km) and up until 28 January 2015 housed the Berwickshire Sheriff Court, it no more has any kind of primary offices of the Scottish Borders Council, but just preserves a Registry Office. Since the early 1990s Duns and its immediate vicinity have actually seen significant housing development, some controversial. An advancement 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 brand-new modern High School has actually been created to replace the mid-1950s structures in which the institution was formerly housed. The new Secondary school opened up in February 2009. The old senior high school is currently being redeveloped into a primary school, with the rugby and also football club utilizing the old playing fields.
