Local History

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 [1]. Coldingham Priory was a house of Benedictine monks It lies on the south-east coast of Scotland, in the village of Coldingham, Berwickshire All landowners (portioners) within the barony held their properties either by hereditary feu or by term renewable, occasionally hereditary, Tack (Scottish word for a lease) from the barony.

The lands between the southern banks of the Eye Water consisted of three estates: Gunsgreen, immediately opposite Eyemouth, and Netherbyres, once part of the larger lands of Flemington which stretched all the way to Lamberton. Lamberton is a hilly ancient parish and former landed estate in Berwickshire, Scotland, its eastern boundary being the North Sea. At the beginning of the 17th century Gunsgreen estate was possessed by Alexander Lauder of Gunsgreen [2], a great-great-grandson of Sir Robert Lauder of The Bass (d. Sir Robert Lauder of The Bass, (born before 1440 - died just before February 1508 was a Scottish knight Armiger, and Governor of the Castle at Berwick-upon-Tweed 1508)[3]. On January 17, 1629, Alexander Lauder of Gunsgreen, acting as bailie for Sir David Home of Wedderburn, gave a sasine to Andrew Gray in Eyemouth, of some land on the boundaries of Houndlaw and also in Eyemouth [4].

Netherbyres House

Netherbyres was for at least 250 years held by the Craw (originally Auchincraw) family. "George Craw of Netherbyre" was "deceased" by July 1614 when his son William came into possession of that property and Reidhall, "with the walk mill" extending to 12 husbandlands (312 acres)[5]. A later William Craw (d. 1750) built the first 'modern' harbour at Eyemouth and the elliptical walled garden at the Netherbyres House we see today, which was commenced about 1835 for a later owner, Captain Sir Samuel Brown, R. N. , who had the patent and monopoly for the supply of anchor chain to the Royal Navy. He later went on to design and patent chain suspension piers and bridges, including the Union Bridge over the River Tweed [6], still in use today. The Union Bridge, also called the Chain Bridge, spans the River Tweed between Horncliffe, Northumberland, England and Fishwick There are other rivers with this name see Tweed River The River Tweed ( Uisge Thuaidh in Gaelic (156 kilometres or long flows primarily through the Netherbyres House was established circa 1991 as a retirement home for professional gardeners by the last private owner, Lieutenant-Colonel Simon Furness, a Depute-Lieutenant for Berwickshire, who retained a bungalow attached to the famous walled garden. Berwickshire or the County of Berwick is a Registration county, a Committee area of the Scottish Borders Council, and a lieutenancy

The life of the historical hero of the town, William Spears (1812 - 1885), is celebrated by the dramatic bronze statue in Eyemouth Market Place, where he stands pointing the way to Ayton, the scene of his peaceful demonstration. At great personal risk, Spears led a revolt against the tithes on fish levied by the Church of Scotland, even after the great Disruption of 1843 when most fishermen left the established Church to join other congregations. A tithe (from Old English teogoþa "tenth" is a one-tenth part of something paid as a (usually voluntary contribution or as a Tax or levy The Church of Scotland (Eaglais na h-Alba known informally by its Scots language name The Kirk, is the National church of Scotland. The Disruption of 1843 was a Schism within the established Church of Scotland, in which 450 ministers of the Church broke away over the issue of the Church's

Very soon after the cost of getting the tithes removed had been met, the town was struck by the Eyemouth Disaster when on the 14th October 1881 most of the fishing fleet, some 20 boats and 129 men from the town were lost in a terrible storm. The Eyemouth disaster was a severe European windstorm that struck the southern coast of Scotland, specifically Berwickshire, on October 14, Including victims from other coastal towns, a total of 189 men lost their lives. This is commemorated in the Tapestry housed in the Museum.

A contemporary article offers an interesting insight into Eyemouth in the 1860's:

"Between Abbs Head and Berwick, however is situated Eyemouth, a fishing-village pure and simple, with all that wonderful filth scattered about which is a sanitary peculiarity of such towns. The population of Eyemouth is in keeping with the outward appearance of the place. As a whole, they are rough, uncultivated, and more druken in their habits than the fishermen of the neighbouring villages. Coldingham Shore, for instance, is only three miles distant, and has a population of about one hundred fishermen, of a very respectable class, sober and well dressed, and "well to do. St Abbs is a small fishing village located on the southeast coast of Scotland, in the Committee area of Berwickshire, Scottish Borders " - The Fisher Folk of the Scottish East Coast, "Macmillian's Magazine" No. 36 October 1862.

In the late eighteenth century with the arrival of a group of Dutch engineers in the town a survey was undertook for a canal linking Eyemouth to Duns. The plan would have involved damming the Whiteadder river at Chirnside thus diverting the course of the Whiteadder river through the low lying area know as Billiemire to join the Eye river near Ayton. Chirnside is a hillside village in Berwickshire in Scotland, 9 miles west of Berwick-upon-Tweed and 7 miles east of Duns. The plan was never carried out.

The famous John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough was created Baron Eyemouth, in the Peerage of Scotland, in 1682. The Peerage of Scotland is the division of the British Peerage for those peers created in the Kingdom of Scotland before 1707. This was the first of his peerage titles.
