<p>Monteviot Mpntevieot House was built by the Marquis of Lothian on a hillside above the River Teviot near Jedburgh on the Scottish Borders. It was originally a small fishing lodge but was expanded by later generations. This resulted in a number of different styles of building comprising the present property owned by Lord Lothian. The extensive gardens were constructed using the shape of the hillside and an area of flat land at the top of the hillside. They include a Rose Garden, extensive lawns, some perennial borders, Water, and River Garden Gardens with a riverside walk. There are views across the countryside. The property is known for its deer one of which is represented by a statue by the Water Gardens. .</p>

<p>Smailholm Tower was built in the 15th or early 16th century by the Pringle family who were followers of the Earl of Douglas. Scottish peel towers were designed to protect their occupants from sporadic English raids. Smailholm was attacked by the English in 1543, 1544 and 1546, when the garrison of Wark Castle sacked the tower and carried off prisoners and cattle. The castle was then successfully defended against the English in 1640. It fell into disuse and decay in the 18th century before being restored in the 1980s.</p>

<p>Kelso Abbey was founded in the 1128 by Tironensian monks in the reign of Alexander I (from Tiron Abbey near Chartres in northern France). It stood close to the confluence of the Tweed and Teviot waters, in what was once the Royal Burgh of Roxburgh. In the 14th century, Roxburgh was periodically attacked and occupied by English forces and Kelso's monastic community survived a number of fluctuations in control over the area, restoring the abbey after each period of destruction. From the 1460s, life at the abbey grew more settled, but it was attacked again in the early 16th century and by the mid-16th century it had been abandoned and fell in ruin. The only remains standing today are the west tower crossing and part of the infirmary. The massive Romanesque style of the tower indicate a very large building of formidable construction, evidence of the importance with which Roxburgh was regarded when the abbacy was at the height of its power.</p>
