Footnotes

Literature :
Tyne and Wear County Council Museums, 'Charles Napier Hemy R.A., 1841-1917', Campbell Graphics Ltd., 1984, p.31, illustrated fig. 10.

Burnmouth was a tiny fishing village – little more, in fact, than a small terrace of rugged cottages – huddled on the shoreline below a very steep hill south of Eyemouth, on the Berwickshire coast, owing its existence to the sea.
