Hello,
This is a shot of the harbour wall at St Abbs.The village of St Abbs itself only developed from 1833 after the Edinburgh brewing company Ushers invested in a fishing station here. The harbour was built a mile south of St Abbs Head in a rocky bay previously known as Coldingham Shore.The name of St Abbs is much older then the village that bears it. In the late 630s a Northumbrian Princess called Ebba was shipwrecked on the headland now known as St Abbs. She was taken in as a nun in the joint nunnery and priory in Coldingham and later became Abbess, and still later a Saint, St Ebba. St Abbs is simply the name by which St Ebba is remembered.
Hope you enjoy
