#Repost @myinstascotland @download.ins --- Dryburgh Abbey, Scottish Borders. . The graceful ruins of Dryburgh Abbey nestle secluded in woodland by the River Tweed. The abbey was established by Premonstratensian canons in 1150. Hugh de Moreville, Constable of Scotland and Lord of Lauderdale, had invited them to this idyllic spot from Alnwick Priory, Northumberland. The abbey did suffer four savage attacks, however – the most famous in 1322. Edward II’s soldiers turned back to set fire to Dryburgh having heard its bells ringing out as the English army retreated. The Protestant Reformation of 1560 effectively ended monastic life at Dryburgh Abbey. Now Historic Scotland is taking care of the ruins. #dryburghabbey #scottishborders #rabbiestours #fiftyshades_of_history #historicscotland #explorescotland #lovescotland #monumental_world #visitscotland #loves_scotland #scotland #scotlandlover #ig_scotland #igscotland #instascotland #vd_gothika #scotland_insta #traveling_uk #traveling_scotland #thisisscotland #scotlandexplore #unlimitedscotland #wonderlustscotland #hiddenscotland #kings_gothic #earthpix #tlpicks #bandorebelz https://www.instagram.com/p/B6lMLGphcyC/?igshid=xkqscvh4ljhn
