Abbotsford

Abbotsford House

Discover Abbotsford, the striking home of Sir Walter Scott; one of Scotland’s most famous writers. It’s a great day out for families – enjoy the dedicated family audio tour, explore Witch Corner, an interactive outdoor story trail, and wander the beautiful gardens and estate. The family-friendly café has a great selection of food for when you’ve exhausted the kids.

Created almost 200 years ago on the banks of the River Tweed in the Scottish Borders, Abbotsford was the culmination of Scott’s creative ambitions as a writer and the font of his inspiration.
