In 1887, John Bartholomew's Gazetteer of the British Isles described Dryburgh like this:
Dryburgh Abbey, monastic ruin (1150), in extreme SW. of Berwickshire, on the Tweed, 4½ miles SE. of Melrose; in St Mary's Aisle is the tomb of Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832); adjoining the ruins are the seats of D. Abbey and D. House; P.O., called Dryburgh.
Dryburgh is now part of SCOTTISH BORDERS Council. Click here for graphs and data of how SCOTTISH BORDERS has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Dryburgh itself, go to Statistics.
