<p>Abbotsford was built as the residence of historical novelist and poet Sir Walter Scott between 1817 and 1825. It is a Category A Listed Building and the estate is listed in the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland.(Information from Wikipedia).</p>

<p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/themynotts/54840780703/" title="Sir Walter Scott's Study, Abbotsford"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54840780703_f2748c3039_m.jpg" width="175" height="240" alt="Sir Walter Scott's Study, Abbotsford" /></a></p>

<p>Sir Walter Scott’s later novels were written in this room, together with his nine-volume biography The Life of Napoleon Buonaparte (1827) and the delightful Tales of a Grandfather (1828-31) – a children’s history of Scotland written for his grandson Johnnie Lockhart.<br />
Though the great Waverley novels were produced in another room of the house, they were written at the desk now occupying this study.</p>

<p>Sir Walter Scott's granddaughter Charlotte married James Robert Hope in 1847. In 1853 they added a private wing to Abbotsford, creating a dedicated tourist route through the gardens and through the historic house, while steering the ever-rising visitor numbers away from the family’s home. The Catholic Chapel was added in 1855.</p>

<p>Another of the 7 Stanes MTB areas, Glentress is a mecca for off-road cyclists, along with nearby Innerleithen. This is the Stane for Glentress, hidden just off one of the trails, which is carved with Klingon writing.</p>

<p>Staying in Newcastleton, we cycled another of the 7 Stanes (having cycled 4 in Dumfries and Galloway in 2022). Sadly quite a bit of the red trail was closed due to tree felling as a result of diseased larch trees, but we managed as much as we could.<br />

<p>Heading on to Glentress, we stopped in Hawick for a coffee and a wander. There were quite a few empty shops, and I made a study of them. In the end I preferred just this one, with a plaque from the Hawick Archaeological Society to Si James A Murray, their co-founder, and the instigator of the Oxford English Dictionary, who was born and lived nearby until his move to London and subsequently Oxford.</p>

<p>This was taken at the Leaderfoot Viaduct, but looking out under the new road bridge and down the River Tweed. <br />
The Drygrange Old Bridge is a disused road bridge over the River Tweed near Melrose in the Scottish Borders.<br />
It was built between 1776 and 1780 to a design by Scottish architect and engineer Alexander Stevens. It replaced a ferry as part of an improvement to a turnpike road.<br />
It was listed as a Category A listed building in 1971. The old bridge is not open to vehicles, but can be crossed by pedestrians and bicycles.</p>
