The building on the left is the Jim Clark Room. This museum in Newtown Street is dedicated to the life of Jim Clark, OBE, twice world motor racing champion in the 1960s, whose home town was Duns. It contains a unique collection of trophies and photographs and is open seasonally. When I visited this museum many years ago, one of the recent signatures in the visitor book was that of Ayrton Senna, the late Brazilian three times world motor racing champion.
