This years annual outing was to Abbotsford House Abbotsford Terrace, TD6 9BQ, Melrose on Thursday 15 May 2025.
Abbotsford House and Gardens Abbotsford was the home of novelist Sir Walter Scott who delighted in taking people on entertaining tours of his home and eclectic museum collection. A guided tour with one of the team will be informative and memorable and the best way to appreciate the stories behind the objects and the building as a whole. The house is dressed to appear much as it did during Scott’s lifetime and the downstairs rooms preserved since his death are full of stories and intrigue. To enhance this atmosphere, labelling of objects has been kept to a minimum.
