Nisbet is small settlement in Berwickshire, in the Scottish Borders. It is on the north side of the Blackadder Water, two kilometres south of Duns. Nisbet is more formally known as West Nisbet. As well as Nisbet House, it contains a mill and a scattering of cottages and farmhouses. Dunse Spa, a small resort and source of mineral water in the 18th century, stood just to the north of the Nisbet estate. East Nisbet is a separate place, also on the Blackadder but about ten kilometres to the east. Its name changed in the 18th century to Elmbank, and then to Allenbank.
