The station opened on 13 August 1849 as Dunse station by the North British Railway.[1] The name was changed to Duns in May 1883. The building on the up platform shared a building with the wooden goods yard. The station was closed with the rest of the St Boswells-Duns portion of the line due to flooding on 13 August 1948. The station was closed to goods traffic on 10 September 1951.[2]
