- Abbotsford House, born from the imagination of Sir Walter Scott.
Ten years in the making, transforming a small farmhouse into the building we see today.
Scott was an avid collector of all things, from books to weapons to whatever antiquity sparked his imagination.
Characters and items from his stories fill the house and gardens. Many items of historical importance lie on display in what became a living museum.

Absolutely beautiful - wonderful work.
Thank you.
Brilliant.
Awesome building and beautiful surroundings. I wish I had the money to built my dream castle, too. Wonderful shots with the drone and excellent indoor filming, too, my dear friend. 🤘👏
Thanks for your feedback - much appreciated.
We must keep in mind that wealthy people of Sir Walter Scott's time did not live with their single family unit and a few servants to wait on them in their castles. Their castles estates were like cities and supported a large number of outlying farmers and villages, as well as a couple hundred people who lived with them at their castles, including many paid/otherwise supported servants as well as members of their extended families. Beautiful video.

Abbottabad as in Bin-Laden?
What a magical place. And your video captured it perfectly.
Thank you very much - it is a fascinating place.
Thank you very much for this interesting and nice video. I admire Sir Walter Scott, mainly because of his noble and heroic attitude towards his creditors and his refusal to declare himself bankrupt. He carried on writing till the day he died to wipe-out the debt. Greetings from Argentina.
I’m very glad you liked it. Thank you for your comment.
The insurance and local proterty tax bill must be hugh!
Oh yes. £40,000 a year for insurance premiums alone. Which is why the charity which cares for Abbotsford is always fundraising!
Beautiful job! amazingly beautiful place! thanks for uploading it.
Glad you enjoyed it and many thanks.
Nice history lesson and video 👍💯
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for your feedback.
I would like someone to allay my suspicions that those who had the wealth to build in such a grandiose style did it with money honestly earned.
I’m sure many weren’t but Abbotsford was the result of Scott’s success in his writings.
@@Seekerfilms That I very much doubt.
