No driveway specialist listed in Duns yet.

A driveway specialist lays new driveways and refurbishes existing ones - block paving, tarmac, resin-bound stone and concrete, including the sub-base and drainage that determine whether the surface lasts.

Front gardens of more than five square metres need planning permission unless the surface is permeable or drains to a soakaway, so check before laying impermeable materials.

Get the falls right - water should run off the driveway, not pool against the house - and ask for an SUDS-friendly approach if the area is prone to surface water.

Duns is the county town of the former Berwickshire, a quiet market town set beneath Duns Law in the eastern Borders.

The Jim Clark Motorsport Museum, opened in 2019, celebrates the life of the two-time Formula One world champion who grew up on a farm near the town.

Duns has a traditional square, a good range of shops and services and Manderston House - one of the finest Edwardian country houses in Scotland - sits just outside town.

The town serves as the administrative and commercial centre for the rural Berwickshire area.

Duns is connected by the A6105 to Berwick-upon-Tweed and the East Coast Main Line, about 14 miles to the east.

The Scottish Borders is the largest council area in southern Scotland, stretching from the edge of Edinburgh and East Lothian in the north to the English border in the south.

It is a landscape of rolling hills, river valleys and market towns - the Tweed, Teviot, Ettrick and Yarrow rivers carve through countryside that has been fought over, farmed and written about for centuries.

Hawick and Galashiels are the largest towns, but the region's character is shaped by a string of smaller burghs - Kelso, Jedburgh, Peebles, Melrose and Selkirk - each with its own abbey ruins, common riding traditions, or rugby loyalties.

The Borders Railway, reopened in 2015, connects Tweedbank and Galashiels to Edinburgh Waverley, bringing the northern Borders within commuting distance of the capital for the first time in decades.

The region is known for its textile heritage, its abbeys and an outdoor culture built around hill walking, fishing, mountain biking and rugby - a place where community identity runs deep and the landscape is never far away.
