Reston

About Reston

Reston is a village on the western bank of the Eye Water. There is a car park east end of village and a shop that serves tea and coffee. Reston Church was built in 1880 for the Free Church. The interior is unusual because it retains some box pews either side of the pulpit, features typically dispensed with from most Scottish churches during late Victorian times. Reston had a railway station between 1846 and 1964 on the main line of the North British Railway (Edinburgh to Berwick) and for most of its life was the junction for the branch to Duns. A study published in 2013 proposed that Reston Station be reopened.
