The fishing port of Eyemouth is the smallest parish in Berwickshire. The North Sea lies to the north and east, with the Parish of Ayton on the south and the Parish of Coldingham to the west.
In 1881 a ferocious storm hit the coast of Berwickshire which sank most of the Eyemouth fishing fleet and resulted in over 180 deaths. No family in Eyemouth was untouched by Black Friday.
