The village of Chirnside can be seen from almost anywhere in Berwickshire, perched on the ridge between Berwick-upon-Tweed and Duns, and overlooking the Tweed valley with the Cheviots in the distance.
The village derives its name from the Cairn, which stood on the hill at
the east end, and over many centuries it has developed as a thriving
community.
