Plan Your Visit

Come and explore Abbotsford’s historic house, chapel, gardens, gift shop, Ochiltree’s café and free Sir Walter Scott exhibition.

The House

Abbotsford is the extraordinary home of Sir Walter Scott, the 19th century novelist and ‘Great Scott’ who popularised tartan, saved the Scottish banknote and rediscovered his country’s Crown Jewels.

The Gardens

Sir Walter Scott’s imagination and creativity extended beyond the walls of his house into the outdoors and the creation of beautiful formal Regency gardens.

The Estate

The 19th century saw Sir Walter Scott establishing an international reputation as Scotland’s most prolific and successful writer, but his abiding interest was tree-planting.

The Visitor Centre

Our visitor centre with its café, exhibition and gift shop is open all year round and free to access. Indulge in some shopping, meet friends for coffee or set off to explore.

Family Fun

Make the most of your visit to Abbotsford with our tips for visiting as a family. Explore the woodland walks, follow the family playtrail and much more...

ScottFest

ScottFest is an annual family event held at Abbotsford in August to celebrate Sir Walter Scott's birthday.
