Guide to Scottish Border Abbeys

1964 (1973)

In 1964 an illustrated guide to Scottish Border Abbeys was prepared by George Scott-Moncrieff. This covered four abbeys in state guardianship:

• Melrose Abbey (1919): Cistercian
• Dryburgh Abbey (1919): Premonstratensian
• Kelso Abbey: Tironensian
• Jedburgh Abbey (1913): Augustinian

The guide contains details of each abbey, plans and photographs, as well as reconstructions by Alan Sorrell.

1932 (2nd ed. 1949, 6th impress. 1973)

Second edition 1948 (9th impression 1973)

At least two of the sites had earlier official guidebooks: Melrose Abbey (1932) and Dryburgh Abbey (1937). Kelso Abbey had a paper guide.
