Surrounded by spectacular grounds, Dryburgh Abbey is one of the most complete border abbeys in Scotland. Established in 1150, the abbey was the premier house in Scotland of the Premonstratensian order. Although it was damaged by fire three times, the abbey still has paintwork that dates back to the 12th century. The gothic architecture is home to the burial place of David Erskine and Sir Walter Scott. The abbey is open from 9.30am until 5.30pm from April to 30th September. Tickets cost £6 for adults.
