Day 28 - Wednesday 26th July - Scott's View & Dryburgh Abbey

 Day 28 - Wednesday 26th July

Scott's View & Dryburgh Abbey with Julian & Sue

Weather: Cloudy with sunny spells

Off we went up to Scott's view of the Eildon Hills where his used to stop every time his carriage made the journey. Here we are -


... and the Eildon Hills themselves -


On the way up here we caught the occasional glimpse of a Kite, known in The Borders as a "Gled"


Then we were off to Dryburgh Abbey nearby, where Sir Walter Scott is buried -



It was sad to see the Abbey such a ruin -

From there we went to Melrose and had lunch at the "Well Fed" cafe - soup and a bun
