Mid Berwickshire sits in the heart of the Scottish Borders, a largely rural area of rolling farmland and heather-clad hills skirting the Lammermuir Hills. The ward is centred on the market town of Duns and includes a string of small villages and historic hamlets; you’ll find old parish churches, tower houses and the picture-postcard remains of estates such as Duns Castle lending a strong sense of history to the landscape.
Economically it remains driven by mixed farming, forestry and a modest rural service sector, with tourism, equestrian pursuits and local events like agricultural shows helping sustain communities. Good road links make Berwick-upon-Tweed and Edinburgh accessible for shopping or work, yet village halls, local clubs and community initiatives keep a distinctly local, neighbourly social life.
