Burnmouth is a small fishing village located adjacent to the A1 road on the east coast of Scotland.

Burnmouth lies at the point where a burn slices through the high cliffs lining this coast en route to the sea.

Lower Burnmouth is hidden away at the foot of cliff and stretches out along the foreshore.

Burnmouth had two pubs - The Flemington Inn and The Gulls Nest (now called the First and Last) - which were sited next to each other adjacent to the A1 road.

The course consists of the steep road which ascends the cliff from lower to upper Burnmouth.
