The fascinating Mary Queen of Scots visitor centre is one of the first places to consider calling at, and afterwards you may want to enjoy one of the many fine pubs and restaurants available.

The magnificent abbey was founded in 1147, although border wars have left it as the wonderful ruin that it is today.
