Silversea Expedition Cruises A Eyemouth

On the 14th October 1881 A devastating storm struck Eyemouth drowning 189 fishermen, the local museum now illustrates the town’s history including a 15ft tapestry exemplifying the disaster blow that occurred. Today, with its population of 3,420 people Eyemouth is home to the solitary mansion of Gunsgreen house which overlooks the pretty harbour. This great home was notorious for being at the centre of the smuggling trade in wine, spirits and tea. Smuggling in Eyemouth, like other coastal communities, was rife amongst the clusters of houses and narrow underground tunnels. The charming high street boasts a wide range of shops, including delicatessen, several fish mongers and a magnificent art gallery. With a golf green that includes Britain’s most extraordinary golf hole, this wonderful fishing village will entice you at every corner you take.
