Abbotsford

A short train ride from Gala gave me this view, with haar over the home of Sir Walter Scott.  Gobsmacked!

A bit of a wee collector was Scott

And a writer enjoys other people’s books too.

A terrific holiday decoration

And these guys were great!

The garden walls were inlaid with Roman artifacts

Statue of Morris -a character from Scott’s novel Rob Roy.  Morris is on his knees begging forgiveness from Helen MacGregor-Campbell after being implicit in giving over her husband Rob Roy to the authorities. The sculptor John Greenfield died before he could complete it.
