Dryburgh Abbey, located in the Scottish Borders near the River Tweed, was founded in 1150 by Hugh de Morville and Premonstratensian canons from Alnwick Abbey. Despite facing destruction multiple times, including attacks by English troops, the abbey flourished in the fifteenth century. It was finally destroyed in 1544 and given to the Earl of Mar during the Scottish Reformation. Today, it is a designated scheduled monument with notable burials like Sir Walter Scott and Douglas Haig. The abbey's history is intertwined with changing patronage, financial struggles, and its role during the Wars of Scottish Independence.
