Abbotsford, Home of Sir Walter Scott

Abbotsford was the home of Sir Walter Scott, the first English superstar novelist. He wrote the Waverley novels, Ivanhoe and Rob Roy, among others. He called his beloved home his "Conundrum Castle" and his "flibbertigibbet of a house." He lived here until his death in 1832.

This setting, with the River Tweed running through the park, is breathtakingly beautiful. The house is like a fairy-tale castle.
