About Coldingham

Coldingham is a village on the Berwickshire coast, best known for Coldingham Bay — one of the finest sandy beaches on Scotland's east coast.

The Coldingham Priory, founded in the 7th century and rebuilt several times, is one of the oldest religious sites in southern Scotland.

The nearby St Abbs Head National Nature Reserve, managed by the National Trust for Scotland, is a major seabird colony and one of the best dive sites in Britain.

Coldingham has a small but active community, with a village shop, pub, and holiday accommodation serving visitors drawn by the coast and countryside.

About Scottish Borders

The Scottish Borders is the largest council area in southern Scotland, stretching from the edge of Edinburgh and East Lothian in the north to the English border in the south.

It is a landscape of rolling hills, river valleys, and market towns — the Tweed, Teviot, Ettrick, and Yarrow rivers carve through countryside that has been fought over, farmed, and written about for centuries.

Hawick and Galashiels are the largest towns, but the region's character is shaped by a string of smaller burghs — Kelso, Jedburgh, Peebles, Melrose, and Selkirk — each with its own abbey ruins, common riding traditions, or rugby loyalties.

The Borders Railway, reopened in 2015, connects Tweedbank and Galashiels to Edinburgh Waverley, bringing the northern Borders within commuting distance of the capital for the first time in decades.

The region is known for its textile heritage, its abbeys, and an outdoor culture built around hill walking, fishing, mountain biking, and rugby — a place where community identity runs deep and the landscape is never far away.
