Lunch at Abbotsford House
Lunch at Abbotsford offers a lovely mix of history, scenery and relaxed hospitality. Set on the banks of the River Tweed, Abbotsford is best known as the remarkable home of Sir Walter Scott, one of Scotland’s most celebrated writers. In the company of an Abbotsford guide, guests will enjoy a guided tour through Scott’s historic house, learning more about his life, collections and the character of the home he created.
The guided visit finishes in the garden, giving guests time to explore the beautiful Walled Gardens at their own pace before enjoying a relaxed soup and sandwich lunch. The menu includes homemade soup of the day, a selection of sandwiches such as egg and cress, honey roast ham salad, tuna mayo with red onion and chicken tikka, followed by homemade shortbread, freshly brewed tea and filtered coffee. It is a gentle, interesting and enjoyable visit with history, gardens and lunch all included.
