Hiking
St Abb's Head Lighthouse stands in a picturesque position on the St Abb's Head, a dramatic headland and National Nature Reserve famed for its seabird colonies. After the sinking of the Martello on Carr Rock in 1857 on these shores, it was recommended that a lighthouse be built to guide ships away from danger. As such, this lighthouse began service in 1862, initially powered by oil.

The small facility is beautifully situated. The lighthouse was automated in 1993 and the fog horn is no longer in use.
