THE HOME OF SCOTT ASD BRUCE—HIS
TORICAL REMINISCENCES —THE
FAB-FAMED MELROSE
ABBEY.
Melrose Abbey founded in 1130 gave Scot
land this surprising ruin of today. Its
original completion was the most ardent
desire of Scotland’s greatest
HEEO-PATEIOT, KING ROBERT BRUCE,
who, in 1326, granted to its abbot, “all
the feudal casualties and crown issues of
Teviotdale;” and on the death of Bruce
at Cardross, in 1329, his heart, which was
embalmed to be carried by Sir James
Douglas to Palestine, was rescued by the
Moors, who slaughtered the chivalrous
Douglas, and brought to, and sepultured
in, the noble abbey which Bruce so loved.
It is authenticated that while the struc
ture itself, covering the outlines of area
existing and traceable at the present time,
was completed in ten years after its spolia
tion, whose skill in that age in architect
ure and statuary will remain the wonder
of all time, and who regarded lavish orna
mentation of ecclesiastical edifices as one
of the highest expressions of religious
feeling, were zealously employed over 200
years upon its decoration. Of all the re
ligious edifices created during the period
of the Middle-Pointed style, which pre
vailed from the thirteenth century to about
the middle of the fifteenth, or to the time
of the Reformation in Scotland, Melrose
Abbey was imcomparably the most mag
nificent and stately, exquisitely chaste and
marvelously beautiful.
THE RUINS DESCRIBED.
Surpassing in its day and time of mas
sive feudal piles and vast religious struc
tures, it still holds the same regal promi
nence among all the countless impressive
ruins throughout great Britain. The im
mediate surroundings of the abbey are dis
tressing to the stranger. On one side is a
grazing ground for sheep. On another, a
dreary, forlorn, modern grave-yard, with
thin and meager headstones, is crowded
against it. On another, thatched hovels
surrounding decay. Both of these once j and cabins huddled beneath its graceful
tremendous structures are at the threshold i buttresses. And on another that Cerberus
[Copyrighted for the Enquirer-Sun/
St. Boswells, Scotland, Sept. 15.—
When you stand among the ruins of great
temples of the past, whether those tem
ples were the outgrowth of hero
worship, of pure patriotism, or of reli
gious adoration and zeal, your entire con
sciousness is swept by overwhelming
though almost indefinable emotion. From
the harmonies or discords of these effects
there is some times caught aud crystalized
from a thrill of feeling and emphatic per
ception and conviction. Melrose Abbes',
roofless to the sky, and Dryburgh Abbey,
so nearly leveled that great trees spread
strong arms from its crumbling walls,
above all else tell you this: That which
art tears from nature’s arms with which
to vainly ty pify endlessness, nature inex
orably demands again. The ideal, the
spiritual, in art and all else, alone sur
vives.
You will have this flashed upon you at
Melrose the moment you see the old clock
in it i tower and hear its sadly-solemn bell
measuring off the hours of irrevocable de
cadence: and you will know it at Dry
burgh when you contemplate the fact that
soflilfle remains of the vast and magnifi
cent piie that the very tomb of Scott must
soon be obliterated through the march of
of annihilation. Only the spiritual aspi
ration, in kind, that created them re
mains. Scott’s dust mingles with Dry-
burgh’s verdure-covered heaps of crum
bled sandstone. But the intellectual, the
spiritual legacy he left to the world is im
mortal. And this is not preaching unless
you wish to call by that name that which
flashes in upon you from out the very
shadows of these glorious old abbey ruins.
THE OLD ABBEY.
There is no doubt that Melrose Abbey
is yearly visited by more strangers aud
pilgrims from foreign lands than any other
great abbey, castle or palace in Scotland,
not excepting Holyrood Palace, in Edin
burgh: and briefly recalling its environ
ment and history will have interest to
many. The value of Melrose lying in the
very heart of tiie valley of the Tweed,
just below the confluence of Gala Water,
the Yarrow, Etrick Water and river
Tweed, is perhaps seven miles long. The
Tweed gently curves around it from Ab
botsford on the west, to the vicinity of
Drygrange on the east, bordering and in
tersecting central spaces of about a mile
in breadth, surpassing rich in pastures,
groves, orchards, hamlets and mansions.
These are protected by heights picturesqe-
iy diversified with tender recesses and
wooded braes; jvhiie immediately behind
the town, to the south, rise those weird,
Mons Tremontiuui of the Romans, the
Eiidon Hills. Tradition lias it that they
once formed a single cone, which was cleft
in three, during an ecstacy of rage, on tlie
part of Scotland’s once famous wizard—a
real charcter of flesh and blood and au
thenticated black-art power—Sir Michael I T! n?
Scott. They are noble heights, around | Tllo y u
and between which banners of mist are
forever floating,as if still signaling the olden
Roman hosts, the wizards, the Piets and
the Druids they once knew. Sixteen
grand terraces rib their lofty sidt-s, recall
ing those marvelous nature-riddles of the
North, the weird and wondrous paralell
roads of lone and far Gleuroy,
horror, guarding all that is sweet, sacred
and beautiful in Scotland, a combined inn
and toll-gate, lays in wait at the only en
trance. Scarcely a tree, shrub or plant is
there to kindly hide the squalor and avar
ice, or soften the hurtful ravages of time.
If you love to contemplate the glorious
in pure art, Melrose is a never-ending
on different levels, and that the structure
illustrated at least four different styles of
architecture. This is seen in the massive
Roman arch with its ample, square sides;
the deep-splayed and always impressive
Saxon arch; the pillared and intersected
Norman arch; and the early English
pointed arch. The church was originally
in the form of a cross with short tran
septs, and a small but exqusitely decorated
choir, while the interior was divided by
light and graceful collonades into a central
space and side aisles- Of the transepts a
portion of but one, the north, called St.
Mary’s Aisle, is still standing; but there
is no more beautiful specimen of the early
Gothic to be found in Scotland than in
this, the solemn and secluded
BURIAL-PLACE OF SCOTIA’S GREATEST
MINSTREL,
the noble author of “Waverly.” The
chapter-house, a tiny, chapel of St. Mo-
dan, a Norman arch which formed the
western doorway, are yet standing. A
stately yew, over 800 years old, still stands
upon the lawn, opposite where once the
abbots sat at their parlor casements, to
mock the huge pile of stone as it crum
bles into the earth.
You feel more than you can see at Dry
burgh. The whole place is instinct witn
repose. The horizon is close, not a half
mile away in any direction. It is fringed
with the boughs and verdure of sheltering
trees, save where, far to the south, the
Eildons peer down from above their cloud
mists into the sunny copse. The Tweed,
moving in silence for miles above, here
sweeps,wide and grandly over gleaming
shallows, and sing its endless song just at
the edge of the Abbey. You come to the
place through a hushed and silent avenue,
ankle-deep in the spring-time with haw
thorn blossoms white as snow. In these
graying days their place is filled by the
browns and puces of rustling drift from
the beach, elm and sycamore. Only the
lodge-keeper’s habitation reminds of earth
ly activities. Nature alone holds sway.
Bloom and birds, grasses and vines, odor
and song, russet walls and emerald masses
of moss, oriels of ivy, fillets, of vines,
pointed arches of roses, towers of trees
leaping from the old walls themselves,
reach the eye and sense tenderly, siuin-
berously, pulsing with hush and balm.
feast. If, in your liking, even marvelous | Melrose exalts. Dryburgh soothes. The
ruins must be set in the tender frame
work wrought by nature's recovering and
! rehabilitating hands, you will be bitterly
! disappointed. The church itself is in the
! form of the cross of St. John of Jerusa-
j lem. Its length from east to west is 258
i feet, the cross aisle, 137 feet; while the
breadth of the nave is 09 feet bet ween the
walls. From the centre of the Latin
cross rises a square tower 84 feet high, of
which the west side only remains. This
tower rests on a lofty pointed arch, the
summit of which terminates in a stone ba
lustrade with quatre-foil rails, under
which is a bas-relief frieze of roses. The
north transept is roofless. The eastern
part oi the nave is still covered and was
used during the first quarter of this centu
ry as a parish church; but
part is roofless and the great west entrance
is gone. In the south wall are eight win
dows, sixteen feet by eight, well-preserved
and of wondrous beaut y. ^ The roof above
the eastern part of the choir, aud the mar
velous east window at its end are still al
most perfect. This “east oriel’’ is the
one everybody lias seen through Sir Wai
ter Scott’s description in the “Lay of the
Last Minstrel:’’
entire spot is“ruin merged into Elysium,
hallowed by one humble grave. And so
sweet and hushed is all, that even your
reverence for the ever-silent disappears;
for you feel that your mighty friend lies
here as on the bosom of the land he so
loved and immortalized, and that Scott
only sleeps while sweetly all nature-songs
to him are sung.

CURIOUS OLD HOUSES.
The village of Melrose itself is a com
pact little mass of curious old houses on
her ancient highway between Edinburgh
and Jedburgh. The hitler is the waspish
old border town once called Jedhart where
in Border days, they hung all grade of
strangers, falling into their hands before
they tried them: from which genial cus
tom the expression “Jedhart” or “Scotch
justice.” had its origin. Here and there
an occasional modern edifice contrasts
strangely with the bald, blackened and
crazy structures about them; and the lat
ter squat in shrinking groups, patched
with glorious carvings stolen from the
obi abbey, like a lot of bedraggled mendi
cants clad in the finery of a ruined patron.
One quaint, pretty street runs away
from the hamlet towards the manufactur
ing town of Galashiels, to the west, as if
ashamed of the squalor of its company; a
blank, drear, deserted triangular open
space in the center of the village renders it
impossible for you to get into or out of it
without suffering espionage and levies; a
market cross as old as the abbey itself
rears its gray and grizzled column in a
dreary corner of the town; three or four
thoroughfares shut in by ramshackle
houses merge into one which leads across
the Tweed into near Gattonside.the oddest
and sleepiest housing of odd and sleepy
folk in all Scotland; and perched above
all, not a thousand feet from the abbey it
self, is a smart railway station looking
contemptuously down upon the huddled
dreariness and decay below. From this
or better from the Eiidon hills, Melrose
sets in Melrose Yale by the Tweed like a
brown and ragged wind-whipped Gipsy
tent, embosomed in meadow grasses where
quivers like a silver thread a hesitant, va
grant stream.
THE HEART OF BRUCE.
But this surpassing min to which you
have come was not the first Melrose Ab
bey. Three miles below the Melrose of
to-day the Tweed almost forms an island
in the valley. This peninsula is a gentle
eminence. Its Gaelic appellation was
Meall-rois, “the projecting hill." Hence
“Mailrois,” and finally Melrose. The lo
cality is now known as Old Melrose. The
strong natural defences with the seclusion
and luxuriousness of the vale, attracted a
colony of missionary ecclesiastics from
the C’uldee Monanastery of Iona, in the
Hebrides, who here founded a rude
chapter house in the seventh century. Its
first abbot was Eata. Old Melrose be
came. renowned, hut its brethren were
banished in 1075 on their refusal to ae-
J^mwledge Malcolm III. as their sover-
eigiV A chapel, dedicated to St. Cutli-
hert.Vjone survived the destruction which
followAl. Nearly a century later, in J.136,
a magnificent monastery or abbey was
founded by the Scottish King David I. for
Cisterian monks at the then hamlet of
Fordel. now Melrose, the precise site of
the Melrose Abbey of today. It was con
secrated in 1146. and about two centuries
later, in 1322, was nearly destroyed by
Edward II. of England, during one of his
last forays north of the Border. The re
storation or rather reconstruction of the
oriel shone
» of shapely ctone,
mbined.
lftlst have thought some fairy’s hand
’Twixt poplars straight tli©os er wand
In man. a freakish knot had twined;
Then framed a spell, wli-.n the work was done,
And changed the wiilow-wreaths to stone.”
Indeed flu- keynote of the wondrous
art exhibited in Melrose Abbey seems to
have been this very “foliage tracery com
bined.” The pedestals for all statues,
and there must have been upwards of 200,
are composed of five members of cornice,
supported by palm-boughs, terminating at
the foot in a point with a triple roll. The
tracery of the window mullions is in foil-
age. Tiie pedestals and canopies of the
buttress niches are all ornamented in gar
lands of flowers. In the arch of the door
once leading to the cloisters, the work
upon the fillet is of marvelous conception
and execution, the flowers and foliage
being separated from the stone behind and
suspended in a twisted garland. There is
no more superb stone-work in all Europe
than in the mouldings, pinnacle work and
foliage of the remaining seats of the clois
ter. The side aisles are formed by light-
clustered pillars, richly capilalled, with
garlands of flowers and foliage disposed
delicatly in the mouldings. One might
safely say that the entire decoration of
this marvelous interior is simply an unsur-
passsed nature-study of foliage, plants and
flowers, wrought in stone to as accurate a
semblance as though under the most per
fect representation by pencil. To my
mind
SOLEMN MAGNIFICENCE AND SPENDOR
lias never elsewhere been more perfectly
wedded to the very incarnation of the
beautiful through art. Setting entirely
aside the religious associations, those im
pressive emotions which ever arise at the
sepulture of the mighty dead, or stiil
those more touching and exquisite emo
tions which are the outgrowth of a con
sciousness that the eyes and hearts of
countless men and women of transcendent
genius have feasted upon the splendid
shine, as have yours and mine, I know of
no other spots in the three kingdoms
where one may come and so worship alone
with the immortal soul or art whispering
sweetly through the silent lips of chiseled
stone.
DRYBUF.G ABBEY.
If Melrose Abbey furnishes examples of
art almost as bewitching as the most deli
cate expressions of nature itself, Dryburgh
Abbey, but four miles distant, down the
the Tw eed, holds and fascinates the wan
derer with far more tender and subtle
charm. The founding of pryburgh is of
remoter a tiquity than even that of the
original Culdee house of Old Melrose.
Before the advent of Christian missiona
ries the place was resorted to by the
Druids for the celebration uf their mystic
rites—as Daraelibruach, or burgh, “the
bank clustered oaks,” Dryburgh’s Celtic
name, implies. Modan, a Culdee presby
ter, set up the first Christian establish
ment of Dryburgh, in 522. For 62S years
thereafter its history is insignificant. Then
monks from Ainwick, under the patron
age of Sir Hugh de Morville, Constable of
Scotland under King David I., founded
here a Premonstatentian Abbey of splen
did dimensions. This was burned along
with Melrose Abbey by Edward II.,
and restored by aid granted by King Rob
ert Bruce. Twice, in 1385 and in 1554, it
was pillaged and devastated by the Eng
lish. The Reformation of doughty John
Knox, sixteen years later, did the rest.
The ruins of Dryburgh Abbey show that
the walls of the completed edifice stood
