Dryburgh Abbey

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the enchanting grounds of Dryburgh Abbey, circa 1925. Founded around 1150, this ancient abbey holds a rich history that dates back centuries. The first abbot, known only as Roger, brought a group of Praemonstratensian Monks from Alnwick to establish their home at Dryburgh. Tragically, the abbey endured destruction on multiple occasions. In 1322, Edward I's retreating troops set fire to the abbey, reducing it to ashes. However, through a determined rebuilding program, Dryburgh Abbey rose once again. Unfortunately, its resilience was tested yet again in 1544 during Henry VIII's Rough Wooing campaign. Despite these tumultuous times, the ruins of Dryburgh Abbey hold great significance for two notable figures laid to rest within its walls. Renowned Scottish writer Sir Walter Scott found his final resting place in St Mary's Aisle amidst the abbey's remains. Additionally, Field Marshal Haig's tomb can also be found here. Through Alfred Hind Robinson's lens and expertly captured in panoramic format by Fine Art Storehouse photographers; this print transports us into an era long gone but not forgotten. It serves as a poignant reminder of both the beauty and fragility of historical landmarks like Dryburgh Abbey and their enduring legacy throughout Europe.
