Walter Scott's Treasures of Abbotsford: July 2015
http://abbotsfordcollections.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Walter Scott's Treasures of Abbotsford. Tuesday, 14 July 2015. The Ground Beneath Our Feet. Well the 25th national Festival of Archaeology is just getting underway, so it got me thinking about a side of Scott's antiquarian pursuits that perhaps doesn't get as much coverage as it should: his interest in what we know today as archaeology and the early evolution of this discipline. The Tweed after which Scott named his new home. And two Iron-age hill forts at Castlesteads and Huntlyburn. He also acquire...

http://abbotsfordcollections.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Walter Scott's Treasures of Abbotsford. Sunday, 31 May 2015. On this day in History. Every now and then, it's rather fun to pick up Sir Walter Scott's Journal or peruse a collection of letters and find out what was happening on a particular date during his life. We haven't done this yet with the Treasures of Abbotsford Blog and this story is a perfect reminder of why we should! A rather portly Archibald Constable.
