In the footsteps of smugglers

A SMUGGLERS' TRAIL is due to open in the eastern Scottish Borders in the spring. 

It will follow the Berwickshire coastal path that runs from Burnmouth to Cove including the St. Abb's Head National Nature Reserve.

At the heart of the trail is Gunsgreen House in Eyemouth. 

Built in 1753 by one of the most successful smugglers, John Nisbet, the house has secret hiding places such as concealed 'tea chute'.
