Dryburgh Abbey was
founded in 1150. Like most of the border abbeys it was ravaged during the
wars with England. Daily life continued at the abbey for the
Premonstratensian
Monks despite these
attacks and the Abbey continued to function until the reformation in 1560.
Dryburgh Abbey is also famous for being the burial place of Sir Walter Scott and
Field Marshall Earl Haig. The picturesque ruins of this Abbey are
remarkably whole and it is well worth a visit. For a more in-depth history
