Abbotsford House
Travel Information and nearby accommodation
This was the home of Sir Walter Scott. He tore down a farmhouse on the site and built the house in 1822 in the medieval style. A wing was added during the 1850's after his death. In the house is an important collection of armour, a library of books and a collection of curiosities, including a glass of Robert Burns, Rob Roy souvenirs and a desk from George IV. The entrance hall is decorated with richly carved wooden panelling from Dunfermline Abbey Church.
