Positioned just over the Scottish Border, in the delightful county of Berwickshire, rests the small fishing town of Eyemouth. Decorated in narrow, cobbled streets and steeped in original character, the town now plays home to a handful of local amenities, including a number of local fishmongers. There's plenty to see and do, with Gunsgreen House and Eyemouth Museum showcasing the history of the town, whilst golf courses, walking, cycling and hiking trails may appeal to the avid outdoor adventurer.

From the lush green farmlands of the Borders to the ruggedness of the Highlands, the Scots are proud of their land and identity. Scotland also has some of Britain’s best beaches with glorious stretches of clean sand over which to roam.
