Eyemouth, five miles north of the Border, sits where the mouth of the local river, the Eye Water, meets the North Sea. With sandy beaches and a natural harbour sheltered by the Hurkur Rocks, the town is steeped in maritime history. The 16th century French fort on the promontory north of the bay, with its twin cannons pointing seawards, is a reminder of days when the English, French and Scots battled for territorial control. The harbour breakwater was built in 1770 during a period when, in common with other 18th century coastal communities, smuggling was rife - a practice that with the passage of time has been romanticised and is now surrounded in myth.
