My Sunday photo is Jedburgh Abbey, in the Scottish Borders, just 10 miles north of the border with England at Carter Bar.
Jedburgh Abbey is a ruined Augustinian abbey which was founded in the 12th century.
I'm still away at the moment hence today's brief post, but I'm linking up with Photoalife once more.
I hope you are having a fabulous weekend and I hope to see you again soon.
That is just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI hope you are having a wonderful time away x
I did thank you Kim, all back and as usual desperately trying to catch up now.
DeleteWhat a spectacular building, it is full of so much character and history.
ReplyDeleteIn the Scottish Borders there seems to be an Abbey similar to this one in each town!
DeleteI am reading a book set in Scotland and now I am thinking I need to get up there and visit some of the sites.
ReplyDeleteOh that sounds intriguing Brooke, I've love to know which book you're reading and what part of Scotland they are set in.
DeleteHave a great trip Neesie, you're doing well posting and traveling :)
ReplyDeleteHappy hols
Wren x
Phew... I'm back Wren but it seems to be more of a strain trying to play catch up now. I suppose that's payment for having a lovely break.
DeleteIt has an air of mystery. Nice shots!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't it just Linda, I love to visit these historical places. If only they could talk... just think of the tales they could tell.
DeleteGorgeous photos - that looks like such an interesting place to explore :-)
ReplyDeleteThere are so many similar places of interest and history in the Scottish Borders. I just love to visit them. Each is so unique and has a story to tell.
DeleteOh my goodness, the 12th century. It looks amazing now, it must have been so stunning when it was intact!
ReplyDeleteIt must have indeed been stunning back in the 12th century because it's amazing now in this day and age. It must have been magnificent.
DeleteI bet this was such a grand Abbey when it was in full glory
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up
It must have been breathtaking back then in the 12th century. The mind boggles as to how they built them with such limited resources... and it seems that every town virtually in the Scottish Borders has their own Abbey.
DeleteI bet it was beautiful when it was in its heyday!
ReplyDeleteIt must have been a spectacular sight back then, because it's still beautiful now.
Deletesuch a sense of history here!
ReplyDeleteVirtually every town in the Scottish Borders seem to have their own Abbey. So much history everywhere.
DeleteI love old buildings and this looks great to visit #MySundayPhoto
ReplyDeleteThere are masses of historical buildings and abbeys in this area. Lots of interesting places to visit if like me you love history!
DeleteI always think of the Herculean task it was to construct these towering buildings back when. You can still feel a touch of the awe people must have felt when they first laid eyes on it. :)
ReplyDeleteThere are so many of these magnificent Abbey's in the Scottish Borders Rita, but each one is unique and a spectacular sight. Have you read Ken Follett's Pillars of the Earth or seen the film? It goes into fantastic detail what it would be like to build one of these majestic buildings. I loved both the book and film.
DeleteThank you Sugar - I would dearly love to visit this Abbey!
ReplyDeleteSandy xx
Pop the Scottish Borders on to your list of places to visit Sandy, because each town it seems has magnificent Abbey's. There is so much history... it's fantastic.
Deleteneat :D love seeing buildings that old
ReplyDeleteAs you probably know Jennifer... the Scottish Borders has an abundance of these historical buildings, abbeys and places of interest. Great places to visit if you are in to history.
DeleteLooks so lovely! The details are very much intact which is lovely =) #mysundayphoto
ReplyDeleteIndeed... I just wished I had spent more time there. I'll be sure to revisit if I'm ever in that vicinity.
DeleteSuch a striking silhouette, I love a good ruin! #MySundayPhoto
ReplyDeleteI wish I'd have spent more time there Lucy, because it really was in great condition considering how old it was. There are quite a few Abbey's around that part of the Scottish Borders.
