@andrewsp2009 so the dormitory ranges would be closer to the River Tweed and not in the shadows of the Eildon Hills?? Some theories I have heard

Cistercian houses had a set Plan, Dundrennan Abbey (Dumfries & Galloway) Newbattle (Dalkeith) Cooper (Angus) and Alan Sorrell's great reconstruction of Melrose. For some reason Melrose was a backwards Plan.

@andrewsp2009 this is brilliant! understand that completely! 😆

When colleagues think I'm listening but in my mind I'm somewhere in France in the 1430 fighting the English invaders with our French cousins! #ManAtArms #Storytelling

@joe_yer99 Try living in the Scottish Borders. Bus fares are so expensive. Getting to work 8 miles away costs me about £8 and takes me about 50 minutes because I need two busses.

@Nick_Holland_ visited there last month, very worth it and very moving to see where they lived, wrote and are buried

@MartinSLewis Because I am an American living in the UK, I can't invest over here. Every platform I try, one of the first questions they ask is if I am American

Today's Poll: Do you have money in investments (not counting in pensions) or in a stocks and shares Isa? ie investments not in savings accounts.

Craigmillar Castle

Hermitage Castle, my watercolour from 1984. Alexander Ramsay of Dalhousie was starved to death in Castle dungeon by William Douglas because Alex had successfully taken Roxburgh Castle from English forces in 1342. (William had failed in his attempts to do this.) #HermitageCastle

Newark Castle, Selkirkshire (Scotland) Canmore image & watercolour reconstruction from 1984. Was originally inspired to do watercolour because of Newark being in Nigel Tranter's 'Black Douglas' book. #NewarkCastle #HistoryRebuilt #NigelTranter

Jedburgh Castle jail house 'Dave Cleghorn' image & overlap of reconstruction of earlier Jedburgh Castle. Based on description given to me by Nigel Tranter. L to R lesser tower, bakehouse & Donjon with peel/palisade. Looks too weak so added Barmkin with drawbridge & ditch.

@EduardHabsburg @mcgillmd921 @JamesMunro5 if you're visiting the Antonine Wall, visit the Border abbeys, especially Dryburgh Abbey!

@mcgillmd921 Very much looking forward to visiting it one day. In the mean while I have this book to read thanks to @JamesMunro5

Good morning to everyone who knows that Antoninus Pius built a wall too! 🫡🏛️

I’m Catholic. I don’t care if you’re Orthodox, Protestant, or whatever else. None of that matters right now. Evil attacks us every single day. The last thing we should be doing is fighting each other. We need to stand together. United in Christ.
