사우스 스코틀랜드‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 동굴

Caerlaverock 성은 스코틀랜드(사실상 영국) 유일의 삼각형 성으로, 붉은 사암으로 지어졌으며 해자로 둘러싸여 있습니다. 현재 Historic Environment Scotland에서 관리하고 있으며 성 자체 입장료가 있지만, 해자 외부를 무료로 산책할 수 있습니다.

Great moated castle with picnic areas and a small playground.

The gardens are described as outdoor rooms within high walls. These include the South Court, Morris Garden, and Walled Garden. The estate is open to the public, offering visitors the chance to explore the historic house, gardens, and surrounding woodlands.

Abbotsford House served as both a family home and a workspace for Sir Walter Scott, housing his study, library, and collections of artifacts. He designed the house in the Scots Baronial style and filled it with books and historical objects.

For Goethe, Walter Scott's books were "the best things ever written in the world". With his historical novels, such as the one about the knight Ivanhoe, the Scottish writer, who was born 250 years ago, was one of the most famous authors of his time. Quote from Walter Scott: "I have read enough books to know that the deepest sayings come from the lips of poor and uneducated women and men. Things often come to light that are perhaps only found more sublime and moving in the Bible. Even the poet will only fulfill his true calling if he recognizes everything that is not a true inner education of the heart as vain and worthless." (Text from https://www.deutschlandfunk.de/250-geburtstag-des-schriftstellers-wie-sir-walter-scott-den-100.html )

A Leisurely walk close to Edinburgh with excellent views on a clear day.

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.

Please be aware that the castle is no longer accessible to the public due to unsafe masonry. It has actually been sold to a private owner and it’s therefore unlikely to reopen in the foreseeable future. It is still a fine building to view from the outside, particularly from the river bank opposite.
