Join me for a walk around the centre of the windswept fishing town of Eyemouth, located just two miles north of the English border. Originally settled by fishermen supplying nearby Coldingham Priory, this town went from small haven to military station, smuggler's paradise and then a major fishing centre over its history.
On our walk around Eyemouth, we pass a number of interesting landmarks, including the Auld Kirk, Market Place, the statue of Willie Spears, Eyemouth Harbour, Eye Water, Eyemouth Hippodrome, The Contented Sole Pub, Gunsgreen House, Eyemouth Old Lifeboat Station, the North Sea, Great East Coast Fishing Disaster Memorial, Eyemouth War Memorial, Cockielaw, Eyemouth Old Cemetery, Eyemouth Disaster Memorial, The Home Arms Guest House and Eyemouth Beach.
