Ayton is an attractive village in the East Berwickshire part of the Scottish Borders, with a population of around 500. The main A1 road ran through the village until the 1980s when a bypass road was built.

We have a primary school with around 80 pupils and a really well stocked village shop. The mobile branch of RBS visits once a week on a Friday (10:00–10:30). The Post Office’s outreach has ceased, the closest branches are in Reston and Eyemouth.

The mobile branch of the RBS visits the village every Friday morning from 10:00 to 10:30. It parks on the High Street just up from the clock tower. The times for Eyemouth are Wednesdays from 10:00 to 11:00 and Fridays from 10:45 to 11:45.

Within a mile of the village we have the beautiful Ayton Castle, built in the 1850s in the Scottish Baronial style in red sandstone.

The village defibrillator is situated in the Community Hall vennel.
