The historic town of Eyemouth lies 5 miles north of the Border where the mouth of the River Eye provides a natural harbour and sandy beaches.
Fishing at Eyemouth dates back to the 13th century and today the harbour is still active with it's colourful fleet.
The local Museum illustrates the town's history with a magnificent tapestry as it's centerpiece commemorating the great east coast fishing disaster of 1881 when 189 fishermen were lost at sea.
Highlights of the town's annual events are the Herring Queen Festival in July and the Lifeboat Weekend in August.
The Berwickshire coastline with it's small villages of St Abb, Coldingham and Burnmouth provides a fascinating and beautiful range of scenery from high cliffs and deep clear water to sandy coves and quaint fishing harbours.
The Barracks in Berwick-Upon-Tweed has a military history but today is a rich mix of town, regimental and army museums, and holds a significant share of Sir William Burrell's collection.
Bamburgh Castle, Holy Island and Seahouses are a must for visitors.
