From the quiet solitude of a twelfth-century Cistercian monastery, this sacred place of prayer was later transformed into one of the wealthiest and most magnificent medieval abbeys in Scotland. Today, the ancient walls of Melrose Abbey are but a splendid ruin--yet the legacy of St Aidan and St Cuthbert live on. These hallowed grounds echo with the sound of almost 1000 years of monastic worship, and speak of a rich and fascinating past.
