    The crumbling ruins of Melrose Abbey are an impressive sight. Founded by David I in 1136 for the Cistercian Order, the abbey is a beautiful example of early masonry work. In 1385, Richard II's army destroyed most of the abbey. It is also thought to be the resting place of Robert the Bruce's heart, one of Scotland's national heroes.

    You can visit the abbey daily from 9.30am - 5.30pm. Tickets cost £6 per adult. You can find more information, here: visitscotland.com/info/see-do/melrose-abbey-p247611

      Famous old abbey that can be visited for a fee. However, the building is also beautiful to view from the street.
