St Abbs House Clearance
St Abbs is a tiny working harbour village beneath one of the finest stretches of coastline in Scotland, as well known for diving and wildlife as for its close-knit fishing community.
The Story of St Abbs
St Abbs takes its name from Saint Æbbe, a seventh-century abbess said to have founded a religious house on the headland above the village. The harbour itself was largely built in the 1830s at the expense of the local landowner, and the settlement grew as a herring and lobster fishing station through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
The village and the sea around it are now protected as Scotland's first Voluntary Marine Reserve, drawing divers and naturalists from across the country, alongside the fishing families who have lived here for generations. Homes in St Abbs range from tiny harbourside cottages to newer houses on the hill, and access for a clearance often needs a little local knowledge — which we have.
