Fishing boats in the harbour at St Abbs Located a few miles north-west of the fishing town of Eyemouth, the picturesque Berwickshire village of St Abbs is named for Æbbe, daughter of Æthelfrith, ruler in the late 6th century of what was then the Ango-Saxon kingdom of Bernicia. Her brother, Oswald, would later unite Bernicia and Deira into the kingdom of Northumbria and like him Æbbe was a devout Christian. She founded a monastery at Kirk Hill, just to the north of St Abbs on the promontory now known as St Abbs Head. That monastery later moved two miles inland to become Coldingham Priory in the 11th century and is still in use as a church, though the oldest surviving parts date from the 13th century.
