Ayton,
Berwickshire

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.

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