It is a scheduled monument in the care of Historic Environment Scotland. The abbey ruins are open to the public on a ticketed basis.
About Dryburgh Abbey
Dryburgh Abbey was founded around 1150 for canons of the Premonstratensian order under the patronage of Hugh de Morville, constable of Scotland. It suffered repeated destruction during wars between Scotland and England, including English raids in the fourteenth and sixteenth centuries. The abbey later became the burial place of novelist Sir Walter Scott and Field Marshal Earl Haig.
