Founded in 1150, Dryburgh Abbey did not reach the levels of wealth of its neighbours, Melrose, Kelso and Jedburgh. Nevertheless, she was just as overwhelmed by the wars. In 1322, as King Edward II's army withdrew south, the soldiers set fire to it. It was one of three fires in his history. It remains a bewitching ruin. The cloister and some of the painted walls have survived admirably through the ages, but perhaps the main attraction is the tomb of Sir Walter Scott, which lies here not far from his sumptuous home.

Les ruine d'une abbaye suite aux ravages de la guerre, ça en reste un lieu magnifique avec son cimetière, plein d'histoire, on y entendrait les fantômes des moines le soir, mais pas le droit d'y pénétrer la nuit.

Une abbaye des Borders ruinée par les guerres. Perdue dans la campagne elle a encore quelques beaux restes et des tombes. Bel et confortable hôtel à côté.
