Abbotsford House - a photo on Flickriver

Abbotsford House

This fine pile shown in weak winter light was built in the nineteenth century for Sir Walter Scott. It is a mixture of styles and is now open as a museum displaying artefacts from Scott's collection. They are varied, from Roman statues to mediaeval artefacts including armaments to Scottish curiosities and painting. To be honest, I found it excessive. By the time he built it, he was very wealthy on account of the success of the many books he wrote. He is regarded as the father of historical novels and became famous all over the world. I attach a link to a shot of his library in the house, a shot which shows something of the opulence of the interior. www.flickr.com/photos/alan_glasgow/9222821579/in/datetaken/
