1870: Sir Walter Scott spent his last days at his house in Abbotsford, Roxburghs. He requested to be moved to the dining room in order to have a clear view of his beloved River Tweed from the window. He died on the 21 September 1832 and was buried in the already derelict Dryburgh Abbey - a spot he identified at an early age as his resting place. Roxburghshire in the Scottish Borders
