Burnmouth Harbour
Burnmouth is one of the best known yet least recognized of of Scottish villages. Travel north from the Scottish border along the A1 and Burnmouth is the first settlement you encounter. But most of the village is out of sight of the main road and little visited by those passing along it. Burnmouth lies at the point where a burn slices through the 300ft high cliffs lining this coast en route to the sea. There may have been a mill here in the middle ages, but little else until a fishing harbor was built in the 1830s, later extended in 1879 and 1959. The East Coast Main Line railway passes along the top of the cliff here and Burnmouth had a railway station from 1846 to 1962.
