Abbotsford was the home of Sir Walter Scott. He built the house and laid out the gardens after the success of his literary work. The house was finished in 1824 and opened to the public after his death in 1833. It holds his amazing collection of books, weapons & artefacts.
Open for paid visits every day from 10:00 - 17:00 with last entry at 16:00. You can pay to visit the house and garden or just the garden for a bit less.

An absolute highlight. The house is worth a look. The weapons collection is worth seeing. The garden is lovingly laid out and very well maintained.
