Located in the beautiful Berwickshire area, Eyemouth’s name is derived from its position at the mouth of the Eye Water river. The town offers much to explorers: the imposing Gunsgreen House, a cemetery watch-house constructed to ward off grave robbers, and a host of quaint villages, including Ayton, Reston, St Abbs, Coldingham, and Burnmouth nearby. History enthusiasts will appreciate the historical Fort Point, the site of the first trace-italienne-style fortification in Britain. It's a town that hasn't forgotten its roots, as represented by the bronze statue of William Spears, who stood against the unjust fishing tithes levied by the Church of Scotland.

Venture a little further and you'll encounter the rejuvenated port, complete with its deep water extension, testament to Eyemouth’s enduring and revitalised fishing industry. Schools, leisure centres, golf courses, and diving reserves prove that this tiny town is teeming with life, while being conveniently located within commuting distance of Edinburgh.
