Another archive image from Scotland's border country, Taken from on top of one of the sea walls pointing out into the choppy waters of the North Sea at St Abbs!

A shot from the Scottish Borders, discovered in the archives. Originally called Coldingham Shore, the village adopted the name St Abbs in the 1890s, inspired by nearby St Abb's Head—a rocky promontory named after the 7th-century saint Æbbe (or Ebba), who founded a monastery there around 635 AD.Today, St Abbs remains a working fishing community but thrives on tourism. It's especially popular for:Coastal walks — The St Abb's Head National Nature Reserve (managed by the National Trust for Scotland) offers breathtaking cliff-top trails with seabird colonies (like puffins, guillemots, and kittiwakes in season), wild scenery, and a lighthouse. This was taken from the Slipway of the St Abbs Independent Lifeboat A lifeboat service has been present in St Abbs since 1911, established after the tragic wreck of the Danish steamer Alfred Erlandsen in 1907, where all 17 crew members were lost due to delays in rescue efforts from nearby stations. Originally operated by the RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution), the station was closed by them on September 8, 2015, after 104 years, despite local campaigns to keep it open. The community responded strongly, and with significant support—including a major donation from local company Tunnock's (the famous Scottish biscuit makers)—the service was relaunched as an independent operation. The current inshore lifeboat is named Thomas Tunnock in honor of that support, and it's noted as one of the fastest in the UK, capable of speeds up to 40 knots.

Evening over the RNLI Lifeboat station at St Abbs, Scottish Borders. Home the Atlantic 75 boat "Dorothy and Katherine Barr II " Despite local opposition and having already saved 4 lives in the year, the RNLI boat was withdrawn on 8th September 2015, urgent fundraising and a generous donation from Sir George Tunnock allowed the purchase of an independent lifeboat, she was named "Thomas Tunnock" and officially launched 17th September 2016. The St Abbs Lifeboat is crewed by a group of highly experienced men and women, most of whom work the seas around St Abbs every day as fishermen, dive boat operators and divers. Their local knowledge is second to none. Between them they have amassed over 330 years personal experience of saving lives at sea.
