The abbey was a major building featuring a rare double-cruciform plan with two crossings and two towers. It became the burial site for royalty.

This is a very beautiful path along the south bank of Eden Water within the Newton Don Estate. Very green and incredibly peaceful, and much much better than at the Southbank Centre in London, if you ask me!

A very impressive, 40ft tall waterfall on Eden Water. Tucked away in a way, as you would expect this kind of thing in the Highlands, not necessarily in the gentler, less dramatic area such as the Borders, but there it is!

James Thomson wrote the words for "Rule Britannia" in 1740; this monument was erected in his memory (Thomson was born in the nearby Ednam.) Thomson was a poet in general. The information board here (with great views of the Eildon Hills from the same place, by the way) also informs that his poem "Liberty" was dedicated to the Prince of Wales who rewarded him with a pension and the sinecure of Surveyor-General of the Leeward Islands. Interesting stuff!
