Coldingham Priory
Coldingham Priory

Coldingham is an attractive village near the Berwickshire coast, a few miles north of Eyemouth. At the heart of the village are the ruins of Coldingham Priory, one of the most important and wealthiest monasteries in medieval Scotland.

A short distance north-east of Coldingham is St Abbs Head National Nature Reserve (National Trust for Scotland), home to thousands of seabirds. There is a visitor centre off the B6438 and lovely scenic walks along the cliffs.

Our family have had the pleasure of staying in Coldingham on several occasions; its a very attractive village with a small shop and several pubs, and makes a very good centre for exploring the St Abbs area.
