Abbotsford, Melrose

Abbotsford is a truly splendid House set in grounds which border down to the River Tweed famous for its trout fishing. It was once the home of Sir Walter Scott one of the greatest literary figures the world has ever known.
The large grounds border down to the River Tweed where you can sit and admire not only the river but the views of the House.
The Gardens stand to the side of the House and are best in summer with colourful borders. There is also a fine walled garden with more colour.
Take time to see the house and perhaps take the woodland walk.
