Duns has the largest buying facilities in a distance of 15 miles (24 km) as well as until 28 January 2015 housed the Berwickshire Sheriff Court, it no more has any type of principal workplaces of the Scottish Borders Council, however just maintains a Registry Office. Because the early 1990s Duns and also its immediate area have actually seen substantial housing development, some debatable. A development near the golf club when driving to Longformacus just outside Duns is one such instance, as it was built on greenfield sites. Opposite the old Berwickshire High School a brand-new modern High School has been constructed to change the mid-1950s buildings in which the school was formerly housed. The brand-new Senior high school opened up in February 2009. The old secondary school is now being redeveloped into a primary school, with the rugby and football club utilizing the old playing fields.
