So, today was the last proper day of our holiday and we decided to visit a place we have been to several times before, but which is one of our absolute favourites.
Dryburgh Abbey is the prettiest of the four border abbeys (the others being Kelso, Melrose and Jedburgh); it’s an incredibly peaceful setting and if you have to be stuck in the ground somewhere I can’t think of anywhere more beautiful.
Sir Walter Scott certainly thought so as this is where his tomb is, and I paid him a visit as I always do when we are here.
Tomorrow we start our tw0-stage drive home and I probably won’t have internet access so no posts until I’m back in London. By then I may even have finished reading the book I’ve slowly been working my way through all the time we have been in Scotland…..
