The A1107 is a road in south-east Scotland, in the Scottish Borders. It is a non-trunk route from near Cockburnspath to near Burnmouth.

It follows the route Burnmouth - Eyemouth - Coldingham - Old Cambus - Pease Bay - Cockburnspath.

Only at the southern end are there any settlements (Eyemouth and Coldingham). The route is closer to the east coast than the main A1 road inland, therefore providing a touristic alternative route along the sea shore.

The route offers an excellent view of the relatively flat area to the east of Dunbar (East Lothian) namely the Torness Power Station and the Isle of May at the end of the Forth estuary (Firth of Forth) and across to Fife. There is a solar and wind-powered telephone box just north of hamlet of Old Cambus.[citation needed]

The road contains what was once the highest bridge in the UK[citation needed], a masonry structure over the gorge that leads out to the nearby Pease Bay, now a holiday caravan site. At its the southern end, this bridge crosses the [[1]] footpath.
