Property in Eyemouth

Only five miles or so from the English border, Eyemouth is the largest port and the centre for commercial fishing on the east coast. It’s a fascinating town with a mix of property styles, from the historic Gunsgreen House – a former merchant’s house overlooking the harbour that dates back to 1760 and has a long association with the smuggling trade - to quaint cottages, modern houses, shops, eateries and historic attractions.

Situated at the mouth of the River Eye, the town’s sandynorth-facing beach makes Eyemouth a seaside resort as well as a busy working harbour where fish auctions are still held. The Auld Kirk is now an award-winning museum, which gives insight into the history of the town, while the new Maritime Centre, which opened in 2007, charts life afloat in changing exhibitions. Eyemouth
also boasts a new state-of-the-art High School, which, coupled with the choice of both traditional and modern/new build house styles, has boosted the
town’s appeal with parents.

Proximity to the A1 for commuting is another factor that keeps the Berwickshire property market in momentum. Eyemouth is approx 35 miles from Edinburgh - and less to Dunbar, where there’s a rail link between the Scottish capital and Berwick upon Tweed.

The Visit Eyemouth website has lots more information about the area.
