Location


Chirnside is a highly regarded rural village in the Scottish Borders with a population of approximately 1,459 (2011 Census). It acts as a focal point for the surrounding countryside and benefits from a loyal local community alongside steady visitor trade throughout the year.

The area is rich in cultural and historical significance. Notable former residents include David Hume, one of the leading figures of the Scottish Enlightenment, who lived at nearby Ninewells House, and Jim Clark obe, the world-renowned racing driver from nearby Edington Mains, widely regarded as one of the greatest Formula One drivers of all time.

Chirnside is located approximately 10 miles west of Berwick-upon-Tweed, on the eastern edge of the Scottish Borders. Berwick-upon-Tweed (population circa 14,000 with a wider catchment of approximately 42,000) lies almost equidistant between Edinburgh and Newcastle upon Tyne, both around 65 miles away.

The village enjoys excellent accessibility via the A1(T) trunk road, while the East Coast Main Line rail services from Berwick-upon-Tweed provide regular connections to Edinburgh and Newcastle in approximately 45 minutes, and London in around three and a half hours. This connectivity supports both tourism and business travel.
