Sinossi
Excerpt from Annals and Antiquities of Dryburgh: And Other Places on the Tweed, 1836
IN a Peninsula of 52 acres, formed by one or the great windings of the Tweed, commonly called the Crescent of that river, in the south west nook of Berwickshire, stand the venerable Ruins of Dryburgh Abbey - the towering peak of which forms a very conspicuous object in the landscape, from the post road leading from Edinburgh to Jedburgh-fiom the former of which it is 36 miles distant, and 10 from the latter. The Tweed in all its course is not the boundary between England and Scotland; here it only divides Berwickshire from Roxburgh shire, and it abounds with salmon, trout, eels, and fresh water fish of every kind.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This captivating book chronicles the rich history surrounding the venerable ruins of Scotland's Dryburgh Abbey, established in 1152. The author meticulously unravels the tale of this sacred site, tracing its origins as a humble religious house founded in the 12th century.
