Dryburgh Abbey Church looking east
It doesn't always rain in Scotland!
Dryburgh Abbey dates back to 1150. Hugh de Moreville was the main landowner in the area. His family had come across from Normandy with William the Conqueror 84 years earlier, and he himself had befriended King David I of Scotland.
Dryburgh's location in the Scottish borders meant that it inevitably became caught up in the wars between England and Scotland. It is said that in 1322 Edward II's army, retreating south to England, took exception to the sound of the bells of Dryburgh Abbey being rung to celebrate their defeat. They burned it down.
What emerged from a rebuilding process that probably took another 100 years was even bigger and better than before, despite further destruction by another English army in 1385. But the completed abbey of the 1400s would only see a further century of active use. The end effectively came on 4 November 1544 when some 700 English troops mounted a raid across the border, destroying both Dryburgh Abbey and the nearby town of Dryburgh.

The first Pip shows the inscription on the plinth of the cross.
The second PiP shows the simple stone tablet in the style of the standard headstones of the Imperial War Graves Commission of Earl Haig. The Haig Fund is a charity set up in 1921 by Field Marshal Douglas Haig, 1st Earl Haig to assist ex-servicemen. The Haig Fund continues to support veterans from all conflicts and other military actions involving British Armed Forces up to the present day. Its members sell remembrance poppies in the weeks before Remembrance Day/Armistice Day.

I like the images in the PiPs to.............very poignant. I love the simplicity of Lord Haig's headstone. He left behind a wonderful legacy in his charity work.
