Melrose Abbey was my final destination for the day, which was surprisingly heavy on clerical buildings... or rather ruins, which is the correct state of repair for any religious structure. The abbey was founded in 1136 on the order of king David I, and remained the most important abbey of the Cistercian order in Scotland until the reformation. Several Scottish kings are buried here, as is supposedly the heart of Robert the Bruce.
All pics here.
I searched and searched, but could not find the heart of ole Bob Bruce.
I did find the latrine though.
