SCOTLAND'S HERITAGE: DRYBURGH ABBEY

The series of Scotland's gems continues....

A few weeks ago, I visited some beautiful sites on the Scottish borders. One of them was the Dryburgh Abbey, built in 1150 by white-clad Premonstratensian canons.

Click here for more information about the Abbey.

It was a lovely day and, luckily, very quiet. If you are able to spend some time in Scotland, I would suggest to become a member of 'Historic Scotland'. The membership gives you access to a large number of historic sites all over Scotland. The Historic Scotland website is a good place to start looking when planning to visit historical sites.

My photo album shows interesting images of this impressive Abbey. Have a look at the photos and feel free to leave a comment on my blog site.

Hot weather map

Have you wondered where the best places are to escape the cold weather between Christmas and New Year? It always takes me ages to find a place to escape but the most popular places cost a fortune! No pity for the small earner who lives in a cold country?

Luckily I came across a website that shows on a world map where the 'hot places' are. It's a good one and it's called 'Worldreviewer.com'. Have a look at their website if you are nosy and if you want to spend New Year's Eve in warmer climate.

Oh and please let me know if you find a good deal for a week in the sun between Christmas and New Year. I've not yet given up :-)   (For flights from either Glasgow or Edinburgh airport, Scotland).

Happy searching!
