LOCATION
The subjects occupy a prominent High Street position in Eyemouth town centre, running parallel to the beachfront within an established commercial pitch with residential accommodation above. Surrounding occupiers include Time To Be, Rialto, Loughs Home Bakery, Canine Design, Chapel Jewellers, Turkish Barbers, Eyemouth General Store, Ina Pearl and The Co-op, generating consistent local footfall. The town has a population of 3,781 within a two-mile radius (2022 Census) and an average household income of £27,729 within ten miles (Source: Costar). Located approximately eight miles from Berwick-upon-Tweed and 49 miles from Edinburgh, with access to East Coast Mainline stations at Reston, Berwick-upon-Tweed and Dunbar, Eyemouth offers coastal character alongside strong regional connectivity. Ongoing harbour expansion, renewable energy investment and sustained regeneration position the town for long-term economic growth and inward investment.

Eyemouth is undergoing significant transformation, combining its strong fishing heritage with major investment that positions the town as a key hub for offshore wind and the wider marine economy. A £250 million harbour masterplan, led by Eyemouth Harbour Trust and supported through the UK Government’s Shared Prosperity Fund and Borderlands Place Programme, will deliver a new deep-water facility, expanded berthing and modernised infrastructure. Its proximity to planned North Sea wind developments creates substantial opportunity for operations and maintenance activity, supply chain growth and high-skilled job creation, while continuing to safeguard and strengthen the local fishing industry.

This builds on wider public and private sector regeneration, including harbour upgrades, a new ice-making facility to support the fishing fleet, redevelopment of the former fish market site into modern commercial pod units, and town centre shopfront improvements. Together, these initiatives have enhanced tourism, improved infrastructure and increased investor confidence in the area.
