Abbotsford - home of Sir Walter Scott
This magnificent small castle was once home to Sir Walter Scott one  of the greatest literary figures the world has ever known.
The 19th century novelist  wrote amongst other pieces Waverley, Rob Roy, Ivanhoe and The Lady of the Lake.
I loved be able to see Sir Walter Scott's Study, Library, Drawing Room, Entrance Hall, Armouries and the Dining Room. 
Also take time to see the lovely walled garden with beautiful herbaceous borders. The property is set on the River Tweed and there are various walks. This is one of my favourite properties - a must see.
