In February, Dryburgh Abbey is covered in beautiful snowdrops, a sign of spring. The abbey is hosting a day of activities and guided walking tours. Why not take a look after stopping by the #TrimontiumMuseum?

#SundayInTheBorders: the Temple of the Muses 🏛️🌿
This riverside monument, built in 1817 to honour poet James Thomson, celebrates creativity, nature & the arts.

Near Dryburgh Abbey & Scott’s View, it’s the perfect spot for quiet reflection. ✨
