The town of Eyemouth takes its name from its location at the mouth of the River Eye. Choosing to spend your vacation in Eyemouth will provide you with the opportunity to visit the fishing villages in the area, such as Ayton, Reston and St. Abbs. You will also have fantastic opportunities for bird watching, fishing, diving, walking and of course just sitting outdoors and enjoying the breathtaking beauty of the region. Eyemouth has been an important fishing port since the 13th century. Today it is a prosperous port that is home to more than 78 fishing vessels. In addition to moorings for the fishing vessels, the harbour is a popular destination for yachts during the summer. If there is a need for a sea rescue, the firing of the maroons is the signal for calling out the Coastguard volunteers and the RNLI lifeboat.
