Chirnside cont.

There are two village parks, a tennis court and multipurpose games area and a football pitch - the home ground of Chirnside Football Club. The village has a thriving Bowling Club and it's bowling green must be one of the best in the Borders with stunning views across the Merse.

There are four pubs in and around Chirnside, three of which provide overnight accommodation. The Waterloo Inn at the foot of the Crosshill is an old coaching inn. In 1985 it was listed in the "Good Pub Guide". At the top of the Crosshill is the 230-year-old Red Lion Inn, popular with the locals. Naismiths Arms (better known as Mitchells) is towards the west and the Chirnside Country House Hotel is to the east of the village - famous for accommodating cast members from the film "Mrs Brown" during filming.

Chirnside railway station still exists although it was closed to passenger traffic on 10 September 1951. Freight traffic continued until 19 July 1965. Much of the old line can be followed but most of the stations on the line from Reston to St. Boswells are now private houses.
