Excerpt from Annals and Antiquities of Dryburgh: And Other Places on the Tweed, 1836IN a Peninsula of 52 acres, formed by one or the great windings of the Tweed, commonly called the Crescent of that river, in the south west nook of Berwickshire, stand the venerable Ruins of Dryburgh Abbey - the towering peak of which forms a very conspicuous object in the landscape, from the post road leading from Edinburgh to Jedburgh-fiom the former of which it is 36 miles distant, and 10 from the latter. The Tweed in all its course is not the boundary between England and Scotland, here it only divides Berwickshire from Roxburgh shire, and it abounds with salmon, trout, eels, and fresh water fish of every kind.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
