Chirnside

Chirnside sits on the south side of a low hill with wonderful views over the surrounding countryside. Nearby, Blackadder Water and the Whiteadder Water meet. The Parish Church was founded by King Edgar of Scotland in the 12th century, and is partly Norman, with an impressive Norman doorway at its west end. The substantial church tower was built in memory of Lady Tweedsmuir. Within the cemetery is the grave of Jim Clark the racing driver (see also Duns). The Jim Clark Memorial Clock, with a silhouette of a Lotus racing car on it, stands in the middle of the village.

David Hume, the 18th century philosopher and historian, though born in Edinburgh, was educated at Chirnside School until he was 12 years old.
