    About

Stone carvings and painted plasterwork have survived to provide a fascinating glimpse of its once- magnificent decoration. Look for the final resting place of author Sir Walter Scott and World War One military leader Field Marshall Douglas Haig as well as the Dryburgh Yew, reputedly one of Scotland's most ancient trees. 1 Apr to 30 Sept: Daily, 9.30am to 5pm (last entry 4.30pm). 1 Oct to 31 Mar: Daily, 10am to 4pm (last entry 3.30pm).
