  • Burnmouth is a small fishing village located adjacent to the A1 road on the east coast of Scotland. It is the first village in Scotland on the A1, after crossing the border with England. Burnmouth is located in the Parish of Ayton, in the Scottish Borders area of Scotland and governed by Scottish Borders Council. Burnmouth lies at the point where a burn slices through the high cliffs lining this coast en route to the sea. There may have been a mill here in the Middle Ages, but little else until a fishing harbour was built in the 1830s, later extended in 1879 and 1959. The East Coast Main Line railway passes along the top of the cliff here, and was once served by Burnmouth railway station from 1846 to 1962. The Berwickshire Coastal Path is nearby. Burnmouth itself is split into two areas: Upper Burnmouth and Lower Burnmouth. Upper Burnmouth is sited at the top of the cliff. Lower Burnmouth is hidden away at the foot of cliff and stretches out along the foreshore. Lower Burnmouth is further split into four smaller communities: Lower Burnmouth, Partanhall, Cowdrait and Ross. Lower Burnmouth sits beside the harbour and Partanhall is located to the north. Cowdrait is located to the south of the harbour. The tiny community of Ross is located just south of Cowdrait. Ross, which now consists of only six houses, was once considered a separate community, as it lies just across the parish boundary, in the parish of Mordington. Burnmouth has a small church sited halfway down the Brae (the road which ascends the cliff between Lower and Upper Burnmouth). Until 2005, the village had a small primary school. Burnmouth had two pubs - The Flemington Inn and The Gulls Nest (now called the First and Last) - which were sited next to each other adjacent to the A1 road. The Flemington Inn had signs on the north and south gables proclaiming to passing motorists that that pub was "The last inn Scotland" and "The first inn Scotland". In February 2006 the Flemington was gutted by fire and the building was later demolished. Burnmouth lost 24 fishermen, drowned, in the 1881 Eyemouth Disaster. This is commemorated on a bronze plaque mounted on the harbour wall. Burnmouth hosts an annual bike race, known as the "Brae Race" which takes place every May. The course consists of the steep road which ascends the cliff from lower to upper Burnmouth. (en)

  • Burnmouth es un pequeño pueblo pesquero adyacente a la carretera A1 en la costa este de Escocia. Es el primer pueblo en Escocia en la A1, después de cruzar la frontera con Inglaterra. Burnmouth está localizado en la Parroquia de Ayton, en el concejo de Scottish Borders en Escocia, y gobernado por el mismo. Burnmouth se sitúa en el punto donde una corriente de agua corta a través de los altos acantilados que surcan esta costa en la ruta al mar. Pudo haber habido un molino aquí en las Edad Media, pero poco más hasta que se construyó un puerto de pesca en 1830, más tarde extendido en 1879 y 1959. El ferrocarril de la Línea Principal de la Costa Este pasa a lo largo de la parte superior del acantilado, y Burnmouth tuvo una estación de ferrocarril de 1846 a 1962. El Camino Costero Berwickshire es cercano. Burnmouth está dividida en dos zonas: el Alto Burnmouth y el Bajo Burnmouth. El Alto Burnmouth está situado en la parte superior del acantilado. El Bajo Burnmouth está escondido en el pie de acantilado y se extiende a lo largo de la playa. El Bajo Burnmouth está además dividido en cuatro comunidades más pequeñas: El Bajo Burnmouth, Partanhall, Cowdrait y Ross. El Bajo Burnmouth se asienta junto al puerto y Partanhall está localizado al norte. Cowdrait está al del sur del puerto. La comunidad minúscula de Ross está localizada justo al sur de Cowdrait. Ross, el cual ahora consta de sólo seis casas, fue una vez considerada una comunidad separada, cuando estaba al otro lado de la frontera parroquial, en la parroquia de Mordington. Burnmouth tiene una pequeña iglesia situada a medio camino bajo el Brae (la carretera que asciende el acantilado entre el Bajo y el Alto Burnmouth). Hasta el 2005, el pueblo tenía una pequeña escuela primaria. Burnmouth tuvo dos pubs - The Flemington Inn y The Gulls Nest (ahora llamado el First and Last) - los cuales estaban situados uno al lado del otro, adyacentes a la carretera A1. El Flemington Inn tenía señales en el norte y sur anunciando a los conductores que aquel pub era "La última posada de Escocia" y "La primera posada de Escocia". En febrero del 2006 el Flemington fue devorado por el fuego y el edificio más tarde derribado. Burnmouth es anfitriona de una carrera de bici anual, conocida como la "Brae Race" la cual tiene lugar cada mayo. La carrera consta de la carretera empinada que asciende el acantilado del Bajo al Alto Burnmouth. (es)
