Highlights

Step into the world of Sir Walter Scott, one of Scotland's literary giants, as you explore Abbotsford House in the Scottish Borders. This stunning mansion and its gardens offer a glimpse into the life and inspirations of the renowned playwright, novelist, poet, and judge. Discover a treasure trove of objects and artifacts that inspired Scott's greatest works, many of which are immortalized in his poems and novels. Learn about his life on the banks of the River Tweed and his enduring legacy.

Wander through the beautiful gardens, meticulously designed by Scott himself with input from artists, architects, and friends. The garden exudes the same romantic charm found in Scott's historical romances. Don't miss the iconic 'Juliette' balcony outside his bedroom window and the enchanting 'Rapunzel' tower overlooking the river Tweed. Immerse yourself in the same inspiring surroundings that sparked Scott's creativity, and you may find yourself composing a pastoral poem, just as he did!
