Eyemouth, a small, fishing town in Berwickshire, Scottish Borders, Scotland.
Eyemouth (Scots: Heymooth) is a small town and civil parish in Berwickshire, in the Scottish Borders area of Scotland.
The town's name comes from its location at the mouth of the Eye Water. The Berwickshire coastline consists of high cliffs over deep clear water with sandy coves and picturesque harbours. A fishing port Eyemouth holds a yearly Herring Queen Festival. Notable buildings in the town include Gunsgreen House[1] and a cemetery watch-house built to stand guard against the Resurrectionists (body snatchers). Many of the features of a traditional fishing village are preserved in the narrow streets and 'vennels', giving shelter from the sea and well-suited to the smuggling tradition of old.
Eyemouth is not far from the small villages of Ayton, Reston, St. Abbs, Coldingham and Burnmouth. The coast offers opportunities for birdwatching, walking, fishing and diving. Accommodation includes several hotels, B&Bs and a holiday park. The geology of the area shows evidence of folding that led James Hutton to announce that the surface of the earth had changed dramatically over the ages.

HISTORY OF HUME CASTLE:
Hume (also known as Home) was first granted to Ada who was daughter of Patrick, Earl of Dunbar in 1214. She married William of Greenlaw and they made Hume their principal seat (and became known as Home thereafter). Built upon a natural outcrop of rock, the castle was constructed in a rectangular courtyard plan; a common configuration seen in the Highlands but quite unusual for central and southern Scotland.
Located under five miles from the English border, the castle doubled as a beacon to warn of invasion. Its defences were never substantial enough to repel a large army and it is perhaps for this reason that Robert the Bruce didn't destroy Hume concurrent with his slighting of nearby castles in the border region in order to deny their use to the English during the first War of Independence.
In 1547 the castle's then owner - George Home, Lord Home - was mortally wounded in the Battle of Pinkie (1547). This was part of the War of the Rough Wooing (1543-50) in which Henry VIII of England sought to compel a marriage between Prince Edward (later Edward V) and Mary (later Queen of Scots). Aside from the death of George, his son Alexander had been captured by English forces. When the English indicated they would execute her son, George's widow Mariotta surrendered Hume Castle to the English on 22 September 1547. Occupation was short however as, after his release from English custody, Alexander rallied his forces and re-captured the castle in December 1548 slaughtering the entire garrison.
The War of the Rough Wooing became an irrelevance from 1550 and a period of peace ensued between the two nations. But border skirmishes frequently occurred. Hume Castle itself was attacked in 1569 by English forces under Thomas Radclyffe, Earl of Sussex in retaliation for Alexander Home having switched his support to the (deposed) Mary, Queen of Scots. Although she was a prisoner of Elizabeth I, her Catholic credentials made her a rival to the Protestant English Queen and Home's support to her cause, complete with his border castles (including Fast Castle), was extremely unwelcome.
The end came for the medieval castle in 1651 when Parliamentary forces under Colonel Fenwick attacked the fortification as part of the wider invasion of Scotland. Equipped with heavy artillery Hume was reduced to a ruin. It remained so until 1789 when the castle was rebuilt in its current form by Sir Hugh Hume, Earl of Marchmont. The castle was acquired by the State in 1929...

Lady Grizel Baillie
Lady Grizel Baillie (née Hume; 25 December 1665 – 6 December 1746) was a Scottish songwriter.
Born at Redbraes Castle, Berwickshire, Grizel Hume was the eldest daughter of Sir Patrick Hume, Bt (later Earl of Marchmont). When she was twelve years old, she carried letters from her father to a Scottish conspirator in the Rye House Plot, Robert Baillie of Jerviswood, who was then in prison. Hume's sympathy for Baillie made him a suspected man, and the king's troops occupied Redbraes Castle. He remained in hiding for some time in the crypt of Polwarth Church, where his daughter smuggled him food; but on hearing of the execution of Baillie (1684), he fled to the United Provinces, where his family joined him soon after. They returned to Scotland after the Glorious Revolution.
In 1692, Lady Grizel married George Baillie, son of Robert. The couple had first met when they were twelve, and supposedly fell in love at that point. What is known for certain is that after returning to Scotland, Lady Grizel turned down the offer to be one of Queen Mary's maids of honour, and insisted to her parents on marrying Baillie over a more advantageous match. The couple had two daughters: Grizel (1692–1759), who married British army officer Sir Alexander Murray of Stanhope in 1710; and Rachel (1696–1773), who married Charles Lord Binning in 1717 (and whose son Thomas became the seventh Earl of Haddington). They also had a short-lived son, Robert (23 February 1694 – 28 February 1696).
Grizel died in London on 6 December 1746, and was buried at Mellerstain on 25 December, her eighty-first birthday.
