| COVE | Cove Cove Cove |
Mr James Hardy, Penmanshiel Mr Thomas Todd, Cove Mr James Fairbairn, Cockburnspath |
001.11 | [Situation] About seventeen chains West of Cove Harbour and about twenty two South of Reed Point another lofty rock bearing, at a short distance so close a resemblance to an ancient tower as to be easily mistaken for such, in ruins, add greatly to the effect of other objects; while the extent of ocean beyond, the vessels of every size entering or leaving the Firth of Forth and the bole headlands along the coast complete a scene of remarkable beauty several natural excavations round this little bay have probably given it the name of the cove. These have partly been taken advantage of to form a range of cellars in the rocks and also a road of about 60 yards in length through one of the rocky sides of the bay affording at high water the only means of access to the shore" Vide - Statistical Account of Berwickshire.
