Abbotsford

The garden and landscape of Abbotsford are the creation of Sir Walter Scott, and were developed from scratch between 1811 and 1825. The landscape composition is outstanding in aesthetic, scenic and architectural terms and its association with Scott gives it exceptional national value. There are three garden areas: the Entrance Courts, the Morris Garden and the Walled Kitchen Garden. Spring sees Abbotsford displaying swathes of daffodils, followed by bluebells and other spring flowers. May is full of colour with rhodedendrons and azaleas, and in July, August and September the herbaceous borders are wonderful. Walk beside the River Tweed or through the woodland.
