About this attraction
Melrose Abbey is a magnificent ruin on a grand scale with lavishly decorated masonry.
The Abbey is the burial place of Robert the Bruce’s heart, marked with a commemorative carved stone plaque within the grounds. Visitors can also visit a small museum housing a display of artefacts found within the abbey.
Highlights
The graceful architecture of the abbey church – among the best late 14th-century church architecture in the British Isles.
The beguiling sculpture – most notably the famous bagpipe-playing Melrose pig.
The chapter house – where the heart of Robert Bruce is believed to be buried.
The Commendator’s House Museum – a rich collection of medieval objects found in the abbey cloister.
