'''Duns''' is a small market town in [[Berwickshire]], [[Scotland]]. In 1904 it became the county town of [[Berwickshire]], having progressively wrested county functions from its neighbour, [[Greenlaw]]. Duns was the birthplace of the celebrated [[Franciscan]] theologian and philosopher [[John Duns Scotus]], whose name was the origin of the epithet 'dunce'. Duns itself was spelled Dunse until the nineteenth century. The only factory in the town is Britain's largest manufacturer of fish-hooks, a tribute to the [[salmon]]-rich local rivers.
