Eyemouth Museum

Eyemouth Museum Open April to October each year - please visit our website for our current opening hours

Eyemouth Museum is based in the centre of the town and documents the fishing and social heritage of Eyemouth, brought to life in its exhibits and through stories from local people. Central to the museum is the famous Eyemouth Tapestry that commemorates the Great East Coast Fishing Disaster of 1881, known as Black Friday, when 129 Eyemouth men lost their lives at sea. The tapestry was hand crafted

by 24 local women and took 2 years to complete and is truly a sight to behold. As a museum, tourist information centre, exhibition gallery and gift shop, we're sure you'll find more than one reason to visit Eyemouth Museum.

Our Coffee Morning on Saturday went extremely well and we are delighted to share that with all your support, we raised the amazing sum of £705!! We are so grateful to all our Trustees & Volunteers who helped in the lead up and on the day, to our bakers and donators and to the Eyemouth Hippodrome for providing such a great venue. Special thanks to Alison Davidson, the coffee making (and drop scone making) Queen and of course to each and every one of you who came along and supported this vital fundraising event. All your donations go towards sustaining Eyemouth Museum, thank you.

There are big changes afoot in our shop this week ahead of our re-opening for the season next week!
