The Jedburg monastery was one of four large monasteries built in the Middle Ages on the border between Scotland and England, founded in 1138 and was primarily inhabited by the Order of Augustine. Jedburg Abbey Jedburgh Abbey is located on the south slope on the north bank of Jed Water on the Jed River, with beautiful scenery. The scenic spot is divided into two parts: the exhibition area and the viewing area, and the exhibition area is in the visitor center. This medieval monastery has been looted by war, leaving behind a flawed beauty that is worth exploring. Although the monastery was destroyed only left behind, most of the original stone carvings are still preserved, reflecting the architect's achievements. In the main building of the monastery, you can visit the balcony on the first floor of the west end of the church nave through the narrow spiral staircase and enjoy the beautiful view of the main building.

People think that touching the nose of the puppy will bring luck, and tourists here will come to touch it, so they will touch the vulture. I also want to be happy, and there was an embarrassing scene. Because I am petite and the bronze statue is built higher, it is really a bit out of reach. Worth a visit!

After spending Edinburgh, Linlithgow Palace and Stirling Castle, we drove south the next morning, this time to Melrose Abbey (Melrose Abbey) on the Scottish Borders. Let me say what Abbey is, the most famous Abbey may be Westminster, that is, Westminster Abbey. In my own words, Abbey is the monastery, presented in a complex, and the monks live there, so Abbey has churches, cemeteries, and the monks' residences, as well as the dining room, the living room, etc. Seeing that some countries have preserved the complete monasteries, some even open to becoming hotels, I don't know what it feels like to live in it when traveling.

Abbotsford House The area is very large. This attraction is not called a castle, but a villa. There is not much royal background. You can also see the luxury and exquisiteness of the year. It is a very good attraction. ~

The monastery was built in November 1150 on the Tweed River at the Scottish Borders and now retains only the ruins of a very complete medieval monastery. The monastery was restored by the English army in 1322 and burned again by Richard II in 1385. But it flourished again in the 15th and early 16th centuries. It was eventually completely damaged in 1544. In the 18th century, the Ivy-covered ruins attracted David Erskine, who bought the monastery in 1780 and buried it after his death. Antique collector and novelist Sir Walter Scott and Field Marshal Earl Hag are also buried here.

Ivek Castle, also known as the Sorcerer's Stone Castle, is the main location of Harry's Hogwarts School of Wizardry. It was originally a castle in the Duke of Northumberland County, and the second largest residential castle in England, known as Windsor Castle in the North. Every winter the host and family live in the castle, so it is not open in winter. There is an Aiweike Garden inside, you need tickets to enter, and tickets to enter the castle are charged separately, and sometimes you need to queue for tickets, so some people will give up entering the garden. Even if you buy a ticket, you can only visit for an hour. Entering the gate of the castle, you can first see the vast grass, many children come here, will run everywhere, play, have a good time. The castle is very characteristic and classic, with a humanoid skeleton on top of a door, chained in its limbs and pinned to the door panels. There is also an animal's head next to it, which is wide open and open, revealing long cavities, as if to swallow people. Watching it is also a bit scary. In the castle, there are regular performances, there are Harry ∙ Potter performances, and there are also bands playing. After entering the gate, there is a sign on the left hand side, which is posted on the schedule of the performance. It is best to check it out after entering the door. I have a number in my heart, and then I will rush to the performance venue according to the time. We just missed the show without looking at the schedule. And the band played on the grass, the brisk English music and all the performers would wear traditional English dresses, the scene was worth a look.
