The Bulletin  

‘The Bulletin.” Vol. 75—No. 3881  

ONE CAME BACK —PAGE 25  

Wednesday, June 30, 1954  

Price 9d.  

Registered at the General Post Office, Sydney, N.S.W., Australia, for transmission by Post as Newspaper  

Largest in the Borderland,  

Kelso Abbey  

seppelts  

OIR WALTER SCOTT described Kelso as  

“the most beautiful, if not the most romantic  

village in Scotland.” It was there, in 1783,  

that he was student for six months in the  

old grammar school where James and John  

Ballantyne were his fellow-students; an associ-  

ation which 19 years later resulted in the  

formation of the Ballantyne Press which issued  

the first two volumes of Scott’s Minstrelsy of  

the Scottish Border.  

The ancient town of Kelso stands on the north  

side of the River Tweed at its junction with the  

Tcviot in Roxburghshire—a county which was  

frequently devastated by the ceaseless struggles  

between the English and the Scots in the long  

ago. First one side and then the other crossed  

the Border to pillage, kill and burn. It was  

profitless war that was brought to an end more  

by common sense than by an act of union,  

by realisation that house divided against  

itself can have nothing but leaky roof.  

Evidence of this turbulent past can be seen  

lo-day in the many ruined castles and abbeys  

in the Lowlands.  

The largest and finest of these Border abbeys  

was Keiso before its destruction. All that  

remains to-day is the extreme west end of the  

Abbey of which the most conspicuous part is  

the massive tower built in the late Norman  

style of architecture eight hundred years ago.  

The Abbey was founded in an age of great  

building activity; time when such magnificent  

cathedrals as Lincoln, Ely and Peterborough and  

the great abbey of Bury St. Edmunds were  

being built. Reports of these buildings reached  

the Scottish King, Alexander I, and inspired  

him to build at Kelso an abbey no less inferior  

in design and beauty. Completed in 1128, dur-  

ing the reign of David I, the great abbey which  

was oyer three hundred feet in length in red  

sandstone, was occupied by monks from  

Picardy. Profiting by royal patronage, the  

abbey grew in wealth and importance and until  

the year 1420 its abbots claimed precedence  

over all others in Scotland. In 1545, during  

the Border warfare, the Abbey served as  

fortress and was taken only after lengthy  

siege; its defenders, consisting of 100 men and  

12 monks were killed and the building was  

almost entirely destroyed. The existing transcept  

was used as parish church between the years  

1649 and 1771. After the Reformation, Kelso  

Abbey was conferred upon the ancestor of the  

Duke of Roxburghe, its last private owner,  

who, in 1919, presented it to the nation and it  

is now preserved as an ancient monument.
