Eyemouth is a compact coastal town in the Scottish Borders on the south-east corner of Scotland, set where the Eye Water meets a rugged, cliff‑lined shoreline. Its deep, stone‑walled harbour shelters a working fleet of trawlers and day‑boats and the town bears the memory of the tragic 1881 fishing disaster; nearby Gunsgreen House and a small local museum reflect the area's maritime and smuggling past.
Today Eyemouth mixes traditional fishing and seafood processing with seasonal tourism: visitors come for the harbour atmosphere, rocky coves, beaches and sections of the Berwickshire Coastal Path. It retains a close‑knit community feel, an active lifeboat presence and a calendar of local events that underline its continuing identity as a working port rather than a purely seaside resort.
