John Duns Scotus
One of Scotland's greatest men and arguably the most forward thinking man of the 13th century. John of Dunse (as it was then spelt) was so controversial because of his forward thinking, many thought he was mad. Hence the word dunse or dunce for a poor scholar. He was educated at the Franciscan Grammar school in Haddington and though he never joined the Franciscan brotherhood,he is revered within that order. There are Duns Scotus colleges on the Continent. This statue stands in the public park of his home town, Duns in Berwickshire.

The Drumclog Bell
So called in reference to the Battle of Drumclog fought out near Strathaven in Lanarkshire in 1679. At the outset of the affray, the Royalist, 'Bonnie Dundee' tried to disperse a Conventicle (open air religious service) which was actually an organised army waiting to surprise the Royalist forces. In the ensuing battle, the Covenanters routed the king's troops. The bell once tolled in the Boston Church in Duns which later left the fold to join the Free Kirk in 1843. In 1929, it returned to the fold of the established Church of Scotland but closed for worship in 1953. The church was later demolished and replaced on the site by a sheltered housing complex, Boston Court. The church was originally named in honour of the Reverend Thomas Boston, born in Duns and later minister at Simprin and Ettrick Kirks. He is buried in Ettrick Churchyard.
