Melrose
Abbey is thought to be where the heart of Robert the Bruce is buried. As you can see, it
is undergoing major refurbishing. Unfortunately, we arrived there too early to go inside. (They
don't open until 2 p.m. on sundays in the winter!)

Dryburgh Abbey.
Even though it's a ruin, it is still very beautiful and serene. This is where Sir Walter
Scott is buried

As you can see from this view, there has been a lot of weathering and damage!

| Here is the famous Dryburgh Yew.
This tree is over 700 years old. It has made it into a book celebrating 100 of
Scotland's most remarkable trees. As good as it looks, it should stand for at
least another 700!
