    What a fascinating place Melrose Abbey is. In it's heyday, it must have been a stunning and inspiring ecclesiastical place. Even today, it is a spectacle to behold, brought to life by Cara.
    What a year it's been for the Open Minded Wanderer. I cant wait to see what Cara has in store for us all in 2025.
    Instead of watching on your tablet, or phone, I highly recommend beaming it to your TV and watching on a big screen - you won't be disappointed, it's like walking through history, with Cara as your personal tour guide. Well done Cara 👍☺

    There is planty to enjoy in the Borders. Formany years though we would pass by quickly as we headed to the highlands. Melrose Abbey we only visited more recently when Covid was easing. The fencing around the Abbey was by then in place awaiting the repairs that are now underway in your video. We were told that a fall of masonry at one Heritage Scotland site had led to precautions and surveys at all sites. Another place of great interest that is full of stories from its past. Best Wishes once more from Nottingham.

    Hi Cara,
    OMGoodness, Superb!
    You must be pleased to this trip. The rich heritage is all in
    Wealth and Power...I cannot imagine how much funds were spent.
    So much details..
    It is ashamed we cannot go inside although I assume it is for the safety matter.
    Oh yes King Bruce....I learn about him here and there.
    This Abbey owns a lot of history.
    I thank you for your energy spending on research to editing.
    Well done. Happy Sunday evening
