THE original abbey at Melrose was
Il built in 1146. 1t was structure
for the CiStercian monks imported
from Yorkshire, the pioneers of their
order in Scotland. 1t was an inf1uen-
tial abbey and heavily endowed by
David I. His gifts and those of the
crown and mobiles made it a treasure
house of costly works Of art and the
center of monastic learning. But Its
life was comparatively short one, for
in 1922 when Edward II retreated after
the Battle of Bannockburn. it was an
object of his vengeance and his soldiers
almost completely destroyed the ancient
pile.
1t was rebuilt. however. largely
through the munificence of Robert
Bruce, and the new structure, built at
the time of the introduction of Gothic
architecture, gave up the severe Nor
man style to that of the new. But, like
SO many of the famous religious struc-
lures of the world, its history continued
full of strife and turbulence. Edward
III held it by force of arms for 40
years as an English territory. but did
it no harm. A few years later. In 1884,
Richard II used the abbey as shelter
for himself and some Of his soldiers
and showed his appreciation by setting
1t on fire. He made gifts to the abbey

damage, and it regained some of its
old prestige in the middle Of the flf-
teenth century. In 1912, just before its
final destruction, 1t housed more than
200 brethren. monks and laymen.
Its final destruction came at the
hands of the Earl of Hertford. the
"Scourge of God" as he was called. The
frenzies of the Reformation finished
anything left undone and its subse-
quent conversion to a stone quarry
seemed to indicate the almost total OBJ
liberation of the famous structure. But
1t wes saved from that fate by Sir
Walter Scott and the noble house of
Buccleugh, who purchased what was
left of the ruins.
Though the tower and much of the
building had fallen into ruins, the walls
and vaults of the apse are intact: the
transept walls and q few of its vaults
are in good state of preservation, ana
there still remain many evidences of
the rare delicacy of the workmanship
and crude richness of its sculpture.
1t was the favorite haunt Of Sir Wal
ter Scott, who loved to sit among It's
ruins; and the stately grandeur of the
massive structure inspired many a
poem, among them the Lay OF the
