Our Golden Retriever explorers, Arthur and Walter, pose in the sunlight in front of Abbotsford, the Home of Sir Walter Scott. The sky is all blue, the grass is green, and the there are crocuses starting to come up behind them.
Now that it's March, one of Walter's favourite places is open again for the season- Abbotsford, the Home of Sir Walter Scott. Walter had a wonderful afternoon showing his little brother, Arthur, around the gardens and café!🐾💙🏴

Our Golden Retriever tour guide, Walter, posing in front of a stone building that has a plaque stating it is Sir Walter Scott's birthplace.
As it states in the plaque up on the wall behind our Sir Walter:
"NEAR THIS SPOT STOOD THE HOUSE IN WHICH SIR WALTER SCOTT WAS BORN 15th AUGUST 1771"
Therefore, we wish Sir Walter Scott a Happy 254th birthday!🎂🎁

Best known as a writer, he was also a #Roman history enthusiast. He linked Trimontium to the Eildons, unearthed Roman finds on his land, & collected Roman artefacts – some still at #Abbotsford today! Pair your visit with the #Trimontium Museum!
He invented the word 'glamour' and created the modern historical novel - but why was he called "the Great Unread"?

Model for creating an inlay collage. The window design will need to be printed first. The view is ‘Scott’s View’, the window is based on the design of some of the windows at Abbotsford, home of Sir Walter Scott. #sirwalterscott #printmaking #collage #scottishborders
Ever wondered where Sir Walter Scott ended up? Dryburgh Abbey, right there *waggles index finger* #dryburghabbey #scotland #sirwalterscott
Exit through the gift shop. My favourite part of being a tourist. Being a tourist is not always about mugs, postcards, magnets and thimbles. #UntangledYarns #AbbotsfordHouse #SirWalterScott #ScottishBorders
A dramatically-lit nighttime photograph of the gothic-style Scott Monument, framed by the silhouettes of trees in Princes Street Gardens. You can see the ever-pensive statue of Sir Walter Scott himself sitting at its base.
The #BlueSkyArtShow theme this week is #LightAndShadow, so I’m sharing a favourite photo of mine. It’s of the Scott Monument, which is a well-known landmark on the Edinburgh skyline. The “gothic rocket” is in memory of the famous Scottish writer, Sir Walter Scott.

Indeed, after hearing the gruesome tale #SirWalterScott himself subsequently died #HighRiskCareers
*You shouldn't confess ghost stories to a novelist. Castlereagh cut his own throat later #SirWalterScott
Who fancies a blink-and-you'll-miss-it tour of #DryburghAbbey, #Scotland?

Built in 1890, I can find no obvious reason why this building has Sir Walter's Cross carved into its pediment. I'm presuming it refers to the 18th century Scottish author Sir Walter Scott, but that's not certain.
