Photograph of Dryburgh Abbey in Roxburgh in the Scottish borders. The view includes a gothic arch with a view to a vaulted ceiling behind. A man stands on the right of centre in the middle ground. In the foreground stands a tree on the right and a carved pillar on the left. Foliage frames the view.

Dryburgh Abbey was founded in the 12th century and is the burial place of Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832). Other photographs of this view that were distributed by Wilson were titled 'Dryburgh Abbey, Tomb of Sir Walter Scott' and are dated to 1859. These views were very successful commercially and were sold in great numbers, such was the continued interest in the writer who died in 1832.
