EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial print showcases the enchanting ruins of Sweetheart Abbey, nestled in the picturesque village of New Abbey, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. Dating back to 1273, this ancient abbey holds a rich history that has withstood the test of time. The photo captures the serene beauty of the abbey's surroundings, as it stands proudly amidst a peaceful cemetery. The lush greenery surrounding the ruins adds an element of tranquility to this breathtaking scene. With its intricate architectural details still visible even in its dilapidated state, one can only imagine the grandeur it once possessed. Sweetheart Abbey earned its name from Lady Dervorgilla de Balliol's deep love for her husband John de Balliol. Upon his death in 1268, she carried his embalmed heart with her until her own passing in 1289 when both were laid to rest within these hallowed grounds. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured by Royal Commission on The Ancient And Historical Monuments Of Scotland in 1972, we are transported back through centuries of Scottish history. It serves as a poignant reminder of our connection to those who came before us and their enduring legacies. Whether you're drawn to explore Scotland's rich heritage or simply appreciate stunning aerial photography capturing ethereal landscapes like never before seen - this mesmerizing print is sure to captivate all who lay eyes upon it.
