Eyemouth Museum sits in the centre of the town and tells the story of its fishing and social heritage, brought to life through exhibits, a tapestry commemorating the 1881 Eyemouth Fishing Disaster, historical prints, and stories from local people. It also doubles as a visitor information centre, exhibition gallery and gift shop, with an interactive educational room that appeals to children. Run by a small team of dedicated volunteers as an independent charitable trust, it's suited to families, history enthusiasts and anyone exploring the Scottish Borders coast. The museum opens from 3 April to 31 October, 11am to 4pm daily, and guided group visits can be arranged. For a longer stay nearby, there are 24 bookable places to stay within 5 miles, with Reston station 4.3 miles away.
