ABB'S-HEAD (ST.), bold promontory 4 miles north-west of Eyemouth, Berwickshire. It consists of trap rock with mural front, but adjoins contorted cavernous stratified rocks. It had anciently a nunnery, said to have been founded by a Northumbrian princess ; and it has now a lighthouse, erected in 1861, with flashing light visible at the distance of 20 nautical miles.
