국토의 98%가 농촌으로 이루어진 스코틀랜드의 전형적인 풍경이다. 그 속에는 어떤 사람들이 살고 있을까? 내가 처음으로 들른 곳은 국경도시 멜로즈. 이곳에 유서 깊은 역사유적이 있기 때문이다. 뼈대만 앙상하게 남은 이 웅장한 건축물은 멜로즈 대수도원이다. 기둥의 양식으로 봐서 중세 고딕 양식의 건축물이다. 1136년에 처음 세워진 이 사원은 한때 대단한 규모를 자랑했다고 한다. 그러나 불행히도 이 사원은 잉글랜드와의 거듭된 전쟁으로 인해 철저히 파괴되어 뼈대만 남아있다. 사람들이 기념촬영을 하고 있는 곳으로 따라가 봤다. 스코틀랜드의 민족영웅 로버트 브루스의 심장이 묻혀있는 곳이다. ‘자유를 얻지 못하면 영혼이 편히 쉴 수 없다’는 묘지석의 구절이 가슴에 와 닿았다.

98% of the country is composed of a typical landscape of rural Scotland. Ln any wonder that people live? Where I first stopped by the border town of Melrose. This is because the ruins of history here. Skeleton only remaining building is a magnificent ensemble in Melrose Abbey. Looking at the form of a pillar of medieval Gothic architecture. The twenty-four won first built in 1136 that was once proud of the great scale. Unfortunately, this temple remains only the skeleton is completely destroyed due to repeated wars with England. According to where the people saw that a commemorative photograph. It is where the heart of the Scottish national hero Robert the Bruce is buried. If you do not get a free soul can not relax, and touched the breast of this verse it is myojiseok.

Melrose is a small town and civil parish in the Scottish Borders, historically in Roxburghshire. Melrose is in the Eildon committee area. The town's name is recorded in its earliest form as Mailros, 'the bare peninsula' (Old Welsh or Brythonic), referring to the original site of the monastery, recorded by Bede, in a bend of the river Tweed. The original monastery at Melrose is referred to in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle with the name Magilros.
Melrose is the location of Melrose Abbey, re-founded for the Cistercian order by David I in the early 12th century, one of the most beautiful monastic ruins in Great Britain. It is the site of the burial of the heart of Scottish king Robert the Bruce. An excavation was led to find a sealed casket, but it was not opened, and it was actually discovered by high school students involved in the dig. The casket was placed in a sealed lead cylinder, and was then re-buried in the abbey back at its proper resting place. The remains of the Abbey are cared for by Historic Scotland (open all year; entrance charge). Nearby is the Roman fort of Trimontium, and Dryburgh Abbey. Melrose is surrounded by the small villages of Darnick, Gattonside, Newstead, Lilliesleaf and Bowden.
Melrose is the birthplace of Rugby Sevens and also has a rugby union team, Melrose RFC. Melrose is an area where rugby union has always been the most popular sport. Melrose Golf Club is a nine-hole golf course situated on the edge of the town at the foot of the Eildon Hills. Melrose Cricket Club is situated next to Borders General Hospital at Huntlyburn.
Every year in June, the week-long Melrose Festival takes place. This involves appointing a Melrosian who has lived in the town for most of his life; and a queen and her court are appointed from the local primary school, Melrose Grammar School. Melrose is now host to the annual Borders Book Festival which also takes place during June. The 2005 festival hosted guests including Michael Palin and Germaine Greer; Ian Rankin and Rory Bremner appeared in 2006. Melrose hosts the annual Eildon Two Hills Race, attracting many runners, and the Melrose Pipe Band Championships, attracting pipers from all over the world.

Melrose Abbey
This is a very old but now ruined Abbey .It was built by King David 1 of Scotland for Cistercian Order Monks . It lies in Roxburghshire in the Scottish Borders .
It has a lot of history . There are Scottish Kings and nobles buried here .Among them is Alexander 2nd and the heart of Robert The Bruce ..It started to decline when an English Army of Henry V 111 in 1544 invaded it when he was trying to get Mary Queen of Scots to marry his son . It then fell into decline as it was not repaired and Cromwell finished it off during the English Civil War .
Melrose is a lovely Border Town and well worth a visit .

Melrose Abbey, Scottish Borders
A very interesting Scottish Borders abbey which is made of red sandstone. Originally founded by King David I in 1136 for Cistercian monks from Rievaulx in Yorkshire, England.
This building was repeatedly destroyed by the English in the 14th century. The remaining structure is pure Gothic with decorative stonework.
The ruins were repaired by Sir Walter Scott (famous Scottish romantic novelist) in the 19th century.

Beautiful Melrose Abbey in Scotland - Tour with Kevin Patterson
Kevin Patterson led me through the streets of Melrose Scotland and down to Melrose Abby, where Robert the Bruce's heart is buried. Melrose is a beautiful, quaint town that bustles with tourists and shoppers. I apologize for the shaky camera work. I was using a first generation Canon 1080i cam on this video shot in 2007. It didn't have great image stabilization. Still a cool video because of Kevin's commentary and the pretty flowers and scenery.
