Publisher's Synopsis
Widely regarded as the most beautiful of Scotland's ruined abbeys, Dryburgh has one of the most completely surviving monastic ranges. Surprisingly, however, this is the first full-length study of Scotland's premier Premonstratensian abbey which goes back to the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, a particularly important time in the history of the Scottish church.The authors of Melrose Abbey again collaborate to produce a rounded architectural and historical account of one of Scotland's most important and imposing historic buildings.
