Sculpture, St Abbs

To commemorate the 125th anniversary of the great fishing disaster of 1881, four sculptures have been commissioned. This one is at St Abbs and depicts women and children looking out to sea, waiting to see if the fishing boats would return.

This bronze sculpture is by a local artist, Jill Watson, from Cove. Three others will be placed at Eyemouth, Burnmouth and Cove.

'Commissioned by the people of Berwickshire to commemorate the women and children left by the East Coast Fishing Disaster of 1881'
