ALMOST 200 young Burns enthusiasts will converge on Duns over the next couple of week's to compete in the Robert Burns World Federation Schools' Competition held in the new Berwickshire High School.
It is fitting that the event be held in Duns at this time of year for it was in May 1787 that Burns first came over Langton Edge and visited Berwickshire during his Borders tour.
During his time in Duns he lodged with the Ainslie family at Berrywell and also attended Duns Parish Church. He also set foot in 'Englandshire' for the first time crodssing the River Tweed at Coldstream.
Good luck to all Berwickshire competitors in the competition.
