EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "New Abbey, Scotland - A 13th Century Love Story Overshadowed by Time" Nestled on the picturesque border of Kirkcudbrightshire, Scotland, lies the enchanting village of New Abbey. This quaint hamlet, untouched by the passage of time, transports visitors back to a simpler era. In the heart of the village, the ruins of Sweetheart Abbey stand as a testament to the enduring power of love and the inexorable march of history. The 13th century Sweetheart Abbey, a Cistercian monastery, was founded in 1273 by Dervorgilla of Galloway in memory of her deceased husband, John Balliol. The name "Sweetheart Abbey" was given due to a heart-shaped tomb that housed Dervorgilla and her husband's remains. The abbey's gaunt ruins, with their intricate stonework and soaring arches, bear silent witness to the love story that unfolded centuries ago. The photo print, captured in the 1950s, offers a glimpse into the past. The scene is one of tranquility and beauty, with the village's whitewashed cottages and the lush, green landscape surrounding the abbey. The ruins, bathed in the soft, golden light of the setting sun, seem to loom protectively over the village, their somber presence a reminder of the rich history that lies within. The village of New Abbey and its ancient abbey continue to captivate visitors from around the world. The love story of Dervorgilla and John Balliol, immortalized in the heart-shaped tomb, serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring power of love and the passage of time. This photo print, a window into the past, offers a glimpse into a bygone era and invites us to reflect on the stories that lie hidden within the walls of Sweetheart Abbey.
