EYEMOUTH TO BURNMOUTH

Eyemouth Harbour

The historic active harbour is at the heart of the community, offering fishing, diving and boat trips, and seal feeding. Bronze sculptures were erected in Eyemouth, St Abbs and Burnmouth in memory of the 189 fishermen who were drowned in the sea off Eyemouth during a torrential storm in1881. The sculpture is of the wives and children of the lost fishermen.

Gunsgreen House, overlooking Eyemouth Harbour

Built in 1753 and designed by John Adam, this beautifully restored 3-storey house was owned by John Nisbet, a respected merchant by day and smuggler by night. Tunnels in the basement of the house lead directly to the sea.

Folded Rock Cliffs, 2miles south of Eyemouth

These spectacular folded rock formations clearly exhibit the dramatic effect of tectonic plates colliding over millions of years.
