What's nearby

  • A short piece about the varied history of this outstanding example of a Scottish Historic Abbey. Melrose Abbey, now a ruin, was once considered to be one of Scotland’s most beautiful buildings. It’s history provides the visitor with a sense of romance. It's facinating to have a walk round and try to imagine everything that has happened in the past. If only the walls could talk. This historic Abbey is also reported to be the burial place of Robert the Bruce’s heart. Robert The Bruce keeps getting attacked by English Monarchs and at some point saw the church being pillaged and burned by Edward II and his army in 1322. Richard the II and his amy also set fire to the abbey in 1385. Many monks were killed and David II was forced back to Edinburgh. (My Home Town). The Abbey was eventually rebuilt over a period of about 100 years, and one person who was mostly responsible in the reconstruction was King Robert the Bruce. Although very nice to visit on a nice sunny day it definately adds to the atmosphere on a dull and cloudy, moody day. It's almost eerie. Having a stroll through the graveyard and imagine all the stories from days gone by. A wonderful place to visit in the Scottish borders. #History Latitude: 55° 35' 33.59" N Longitude: -2° 43' 2.39" W
