Eyemouth is a working fishing port on the Berwickshire coast, offering something unique in the Borders — a seaside location. The harbour remains the heart of the town, with fishing boats landing their catch and a fish market that supplies some of the Scottish Borders's finest restaurants. The town has a sandy beach, dramatic coastal scenery, and a museum that tells the story of the devastating 1881 fishing disaster. Eyemouth has a rugged, independent character quite different from the inland Borders towns. Eyemouth offers something unique in the Scottish Borders rental market: a coastal location at inland prices. Typical asking rents are £400–£550 pcm for a one-bedroom flat, £500–£700 for a two-bedroom, and £650–£900 for a three-bedroom house. Sea-view properties and those near the harbour command the upper end. Holiday-let conversions can compete for stock in summer, particularly for furnished one-bed flats. The housing stock is varied: traditional fishermen's cottages near the harbour, Victorian and Edwardian terraces in the older parts of town, and modern developments on the edges. Some properties enjoy direct sea views or harbour views. The reopening of Reston station in 2022 has begun to influence demand by adding a viable rail commute option.

Eyemouth is a working fishing port on the Berwickshire coast — the Borders' only sizeable settlement on the sea. The harbour remains the heart of the town, with fishing boats landing their catch and a fish market that supplies some of Edinburgh's finest restaurants. Schools. Eyemouth Primary School serves the town; Eyemouth High School is the secondary, with a wide rural catchment. Transport. The A1107 connects to the A1 trunk road at Burnmouth (3 miles south), giving access to Edinburgh (about 55 miles, 70 minutes by car) and Berwick-upon-Tweed (8 miles, 15 minutes) with its East Coast Main Line station. Reston station on the Edinburgh–Newcastle line reopened in 2022 and is about 5 miles from Eyemouth — a major addition to the area's transport options. Borders Buses runs to Berwick, Duns, and Edinburgh. Employment. Fishing and seafood processing remain significant. The harbour, hospitality, and tourism are also important. Many residents commute to Berwick, Edinburgh (via Reston), or work remotely. Amenities. Co-op, local shops, fish and chip shops (naturally), a leisure centre, a golf course, a marina, and the Berwickshire Maritime Museum. The town has some of Scotland's best shore-diving, with the Berwickshire Coast a designated voluntary marine reserve. The Berwickshire Coastal Path offers superb walking in both directions, and St Abb's Head — a National Trust for Scotland reserve with seabird colonies — is just up the coast. School catchment maps and term dates: see the Scottish Borders Council schools directory. Typical asking rents are £400–£550 for a one-bedroom flat, £500–£700 for a two-bedroom, and £650–£900 for a three-bedroom house. Sea-view properties and those near the harbour command the upper end. Holiday lets can compete for furnished stock in summer. Reston station, about 5 miles south of Eyemouth, reopened in 2022 after decades of closure. It's now on the Edinburgh–Newcastle East Coast line — Edinburgh is about 50 minutes, Newcastle about 60 minutes. This is a major addition to Eyemouth's transport options. Excellent — some of Scotland's best shore-diving, the Berwickshire Coastal Path, sea kayaking, surfing, and St Abb's Head wildlife reserve nearby. The fishing tradition continues. The trade-off is more weather exposure than inland Borders towns. Yes — Eyemouth has a significant short-term-let presence, particularly for harbour-view flats. This affects the supply of furnished long-term rentals, especially in summer. Unfurnished family houses and inland-side properties are less affected. Eyemouth Primary School serves the town, with Eyemouth High School as the secondary. The high school has a wide rural catchment across eastern Berwickshire.No current listings in Eyemouth
