Chirnside
Coordinates: 55°48′08″N 2°12′32″W / 55.8021°N 2.2090°W
Chirnside is a hillside village in Berwickshire in Scotland, 9 miles (14 km) west of Berwick-upon-Tweed and 7 miles (11 km) east of Duns.
Notables
David Hume, the Scottish Enlightenment philosopher, lived in Ninewells House, just south of the village (see below). His nephew, David, later Baron Hume, the noted Scottish jurist was baptised 1757 at Chirnside.
Chirnside is also the last resting place of Jim Clark, former world champion Formula One racing-car driver. Close to the churchyard in which Clark is buried, there is a memorial plaque and clock at the side of the main road through the village. A small museum, which is known as The Jim Clark Room, can be found in Duns.
Near the kirk once stood a tower house (demolished 18th century), built by the Earl of Dunbar, once the superior here.
Church
The parish church at Chirnside dates from the 12th century. It was substantially rebuilt in 1878 and extensively restored and altered in 1907. The rebuildings now incorporate all of the original church(es), however the original chevron-patterned Norman doorway at the west end remains.
