Burnmouth, Berwickshire
Slightly to the north, the small fishing village of St. Abbs can be found which as well as being beautifully scenic is also very popular with divers. Just outside the village of St. Abbs, to the north, there is a splendid Nature Reserve and Bird Sanctuary and the walk along the cliff-tops to St. Abbs Head is breathtaking and should not be missed.
The Berwickshire coastline, with its small villages of St Abbs, Coldingham and Burnmouth, provides a fascinating and beautiful range of scenery - from high cliffs and deep clear water to sandy coves and quaint fishing harbours. An ideal setting for a spot of 'twitching', walking, diving or fishing.
