St Abbs, noto un tempo come Coldingham Shore[1][2], è un villaggio di pescatori sul Mare del Nord della Scozia sud-orientale, facente parte dell'area amministrativa degli Scottish Borders (contea tradizionale: Berwickshire)[2] e della parrocchia civile di Coldingham.

Geografia

Territorio

St Abbs si trova nella parte centrale della costa degli Scottish Borders, a circa 5 km a nord-est di Eyemouth e a nord-est di Coldingham. [2][3][4]

A nord del villaggio si erge il promontorio di St Abbs Head.[2][5]

Origini del nome

Il toponimo St Abbs deriva dal nome di una santa, Santa Ebba (o Æbbe o Ebbe) (v. sezione "Storia").[1][2][3]

Storia

Nel 635, una principessa della Northumbria Ebba, figlia di Etelfrido di Bernicia, dopo un naufragio, decise di fondare un monastero in loco, monastero andato poi distrutto da un incendio nel 683.[1][2][3] Si racconta che le monache avessero fare l'abitudine di fare il bagno nella baia circostante.[1]

Nel 1833, una ditta di Edimburgo, la Usher, decise di investire nella realizzazione di un porto peschereccio a St Abbs, porto che in seguito sarebbe diventato molto trafficato.[1]
