Eyemouth is a small town and civil parish in Berwickshire. The town's name comes from its location at the mouth of the Eye Water. Eyemouth fell within the feudal barony of Coldingham, possessed until the early 17th century by Coldingham Priory, after which it passed to the Home family, who had held lands in that barony since at least the 15th century. The Eye Water flows north into the North Sea here and the natural harbour formed by the river mouth has been used as far back as 1200. During the 1800s, Eyemouth's harbour was not improved as quickly as many, and its entrance was very tricky in rough weather. This meant that when a sudden storm blew up while the fleet was out at sea on 14 October 1881, 189 local fishermen, including 129 from Eyemouth itself, lost their lives.
