Buxley is a hamlet in Berwickshire, a mile and a half east of Duns.

Standing beside the village is Manderston House, and in Buxley are the home farm and estate offices of the Manderston Estate, which comprises cottages, offices, a dairy and other farm buildings, as well as an engine house and a fire station.

  • The Dairy Court,[1]
  • Dairy Tower,[2]
  • Engineer's House,[3]
  • Fire Station and Engine House,[4] and
