Melrose Abbey was of the Cistercian
order. Like most of the border abbeys it was ravaged during the
wars with England. The Abbey was attacked and burned by the troops of
Henry VIII in 1544. The Abbey and it's possessions eventually passed to
the Buccleuch Family. Melrose Abbey is most famous for being the burial place of
the Heart of Robert The Bruce. The ruins of this Abbey are
very beautiful and it is well worth a visit. For a more in-depth history
