Dryburgh Abbey, nearDryburgh on the banks of the River Tweed in theScottish Borders, was nominally founded on 10 November (Martinmas) 1150 in an agreement betweenHugh de Morville, Lord of Lauderdale and Constable of Scotland, and thePremonstratensian canons regular from Alnwick Abbeyin Northumberland. The arrival of the canons along with their first abbot, Roger, took place on 13 December 1152.
It was burned by Englishtroops in 1322, after which it was restored only to be again burned by Richard II in 1385, but it flourished in the fifteenth century. It was finally destroyed in 1544, briefly to survive until the Scottish Reformation, when it was given to the 2nd Earl of Mar byJames VI of Scotland. The 12th Earl of Buchan bought the land in 1786. Sir Walter Scott and Douglas Haig are buried in its grounds. Source: Wikipedia
