Scope and Content Sluices, Eyemouth Harbour, Eyemouth, Berwickshire This harbour at the mouth of the Eye Water was formed in 1768 by John Smeaton, and rebuilt subsequently, notably in 1885-7 by Thomas Meik & Son, after a fishing-boat disaster. This view shows sluices at the upper end of the harbour which can be opened at suitable tidal conditions to scour mud from the harbour basin. Eyemouth became, and remains, an important port for the fisheries of the North Sea. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
