melrose, scotland

Melrose is a small, historic town on the Scottish Borders. The town's name is derived from the Celtic mail-rhos, meaning a cropped meadow. It is in the county of Roxburghshire. Melrose is the location of the ancient Melrose Abbey (the supposed site of the burial of the heart of Scottish king Robert the Bruce). Latterly the town became home to many textile mills, an industry which continues to prosper there. Nearby is the Roman fort of Trimontium and Dryburgh Abbey. King Arthur is supposedly buried in the Eildon Hills, which overlook the town. A few miles west of the town lies Abbotsford House, the home of novelist Sir Walter Scott. Melrose is the birthplace of Rugby Sevens
