Whole experience was first class, particularly notable was quality of food, the smell of the many wood burning fires and of course the spa area is one of the best I have ever been to.

It's a nice place less popular than Melrose Abbey but also very beautiful. I didn't have perfect conditions but I did my best to give some idea about this place. You need to buy a ticket to get inside and there is no access early in the morning or late evening.

Dryburgh Abbey
It's a beautiful place in Scotland. Picture was taken in the middle of the day but clods were nice, no harsh light and remember that this is ticketed area and there is no access at summer golden hours. Worth visiting, you can also capture some architecture details there.
