Abbotsford, the Home of Sir Walter Scott

Abbotsford, the home that Sir Walter Scott built in his beloved Scottish Borders in the early 19th century, is the enduring legacy of one of the world’s greatest writers. On the banks of the River Tweed, his Scottish Baronial creation lies at the heart of the stunning landscape which inspired the poetry and novels that introduced Scott – and Scotland – to the world. Our 5 star ‘Palace of the Imagination’ offers wonderful facilities – visitor centre, restaurant, nature walks, accommodation and of course Abbotsford House itself – a museum for living in.
