A very interesting Scottish Borders abbey which is made of red sandstone. Originally founded by King David I in 1136 for Cistercian monks from Rievaulx in Yorkshire, England.

This building was repeatedly destroyed by the English in the 14th century. The remaining structure is pure Gothic with decorative stonework.

The ruins were repaired by Sir Walter Scott (famous Scottish romantic novelist) in the 19th century.
