The town's name comes from its location at the mouth of the Eye Water. The Berwickshire coastline consists of high cliffs over deep clear water with sandy coves and picturesque harbours. Eyemouth holds a yearly Herring Queen Festival.

This five-metre long bronze sculpture called Widows and Bairns stands facing the waterfront in Eyemouth, Scotland. A total of 189 men were killed in waters just outside the town's harbour when a severe storm struck in October 1881. All but 70 came from the town. Many of them drowned within full view of their families on the shore. The tragedy, which became known locally as Black Friday, left 78 widows and 182 fatherless children in the town.

Beautiful little cottage with great sea/ harbour views. Solid fuel stove which blasted out plenty of heat, ideal for a winter visit. Fab cliff top walks and plenty choice regarding eating and drinking, either in village or nearby towns. We will return!
