Dryburgh Abbey Ruins

Highlight • Religious Site

The ruins of Dryburgh Abbey are arguably one of the most spectacular of the 4 abbeys. The abbey was founded in 1150 and sits alongside the River Tweed.

Medieval Stone Gate

Highlight • Historical Site

The Orchard Gate, built by the Earl of Buchanan around 1811 – the Middle Ages were long gone!

It's essentially a folly... a building without a purpose, simply the entrance to the orchard.

Temple of the Muses

Highlight • Historical Site

This beautiful circular temple was built in 1817 by the Earl of Buchan (probably not with own hands, I gather?...) as a tribute to poet James Thomson. A beautiful place to stop at.
