Melrose Abbey | Oram, Richard; Fawcett, Richard | Tempus Publishing | 2004 | The first abbey at Melrose was established in the 7th Century by St Aidan. The present abbey was started in the 12th century by Cistercian monks from Rievaulx and it became one of the most prosperous monasteries in the country. Unfortunately, it was a victim of the warfare between Scotland and England and later its ruins became a "quarry" for locals needing building stone. Today it is a picturesque ruin of tremendous interest. This book describes the abbey and its long history. | 1127 |
