Back in time - September 2020.

Dryburgh Abbey's fortunes fluctuated over the centuries, and it experienced further destruction during the Protestant Reformation in the 16th century, when religious reformers dismantled monastic establishments across Scotland. By the mid-17th century, Dryburgh Abbey lay in ruins.

Despite its ruined state, Dryburgh Abbey is renowned for its architectural beauty and historical significance. The remaining structures include the nave, the cloister, and parts of the chapter house and dormitory. Visitors to the site can explore the atmospheric ruins, which are surrounded by tranquil gardens and wooded areas.

Dryburgh Abbey is also famous as the burial place of several notable individuals, including Sir Walter Scott, the renowned Scottish novelist and poet. Scott was buried in the abbey's grounds in 1832, fulfilling his wish to be interred beside the River Tweed, which he had immortalized in his literary works.

Back in time - September 2020.

Dryburgh Abbey is a medieval monastic ruin located in the Scottish Borders, near the town of Melrose. It was founded in 1150 by Premonstratensian monks, a Catholic religious order established by St. Norbert of Xanten. The abbey sits in a picturesque setting along the banks of the River Tweed.

Throughout its history, Dryburgh Abbey faced several periods of conflict and destruction. During the Wars of Scottish Independence in the 14th century, it suffered damage from English raids. However, it was later rebuilt and became a prosperous center of religious and cultural life.
