   Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.03 sec.

Dryburgh Abbey

Monastic ruin in the Scottish Borders region of Scotland, on the River Tweed, near Melrose. It was founded about 1150 for Premonstratensian canons by Hugo de Morville, constable of Scotland. The style is mainly Decorated.

Dryburgh was burned by Edward II (1322), and was partly restored by Robert Bruce. Under Richard II it again suffered (1385), and was reduced to ruins by Bowes and Latoun (1544), and by the Earl of Hertford's expedition (1545).

St Mary's aisle in the north transept has the tombs of the novelist Walter Scott, his biographer, John Gibson Lockhart, and Field Marshal Earl Haig.
