Cockburnspath and Cove Welcome to the vibrant community of Cockburnspath & Cove situated on the east coast of the Scottish Borders. The Village today is small but busy!

For more information on our village, please visit our website: www.copathandcove.com Cockburnspath is a beautiful and small community situated on the east coast of the Scottish Borders. We are on the border between East Lothian and the Borders and are ideally positioned between Scotland's capital city of Edinburgh in the north and the historic town of Berwick - Upon - Tweed in the south. We are a coastal village which is popular with many tourists and surfers. We have the stunning coastline as well as being a short distance from the John Muir Way. Cockburnspath is the end of the popular Southern Upland Way beginning in Portpatrick in the West and concluding right here, in Cockburnspath. From Cockburnspath the John Muir Way can be followed for around 9 miles along the East Lothian coast to Dunbar for anyone wanting to catch a train. The area of Cockburnspath has many archeological remains which indicate it has been lived and fought over since the Bronze Age. It lies close to the old invasion route from England into Scotland. The name of our village has changed since even earlier that 1128! Cockburnspath was initially called Kolbrandr, where the name has changed to what it is known as now (Cockburnspath) and most commonly known as Co'path. Cockburnspath was very much a place where people worked the land, traded it and forfeited it as well as building upon it. This is still commonly some activities in Cockburnspath with farms surrounding the village and having estates in the imminent geography. The village has many events and projects taking place all year round including our Community Cafe, Gala Day, Annual Flower Show, Coffee Mornings, Computer Workshops, Art Exhibitions, Meditation, Worship and so much more. We have great facilities including our Village Hall, Primary School, Village Store, Bowling Club, Church, Church Hall and Football Field. Cove is a natural harbour which was improved in 1831 by the building of a break water. The harbour is privately owned. The village of Cove has been described as having more of a Cornish than Scottish air about it. Cove is largely homes and holiday homes with Pease Bay Leisure Park nearby and Cockburnspath just under one mile away. Nearby beaches include Pease Bay and Thornton Loch which are both great for surfing.
