Both men started arguing and were asked to leave.
In the High Street they were pushing each other when Brown struck the other man on the head with a punch.
The victim was taken to Borders General Hospital suffering from a broken nose.
In addition to the fine, Brown was ordered to pay a £20 Victim Surcharge.
