Page Text: Mungo Park statue Mungo Park statue A couple of other small memorials caught our eye. The bronze bust marks the birthplace of the artist Tom Scott RSA (1854 – 1927), the son of a local tailor. The County Hotel, an early 19th century coaching inn, has a life size statue of Red Dog Souter, a successful greyhound owned in the 19th century by the proprietor, above the door. Tom Scott birthplace County Hotel Jedburgh Jedburgh is another abbey town, but we only stopped here briefly for coffee, so just the one picture – however, as a bonus, here I am at the abbey a few 😉 years ago when I was aged about 11. Jedburgh Abbey Jedburgh Abbey c1968 Kelso Kelso was a brief stop too. It also has an abbey, and an octagonal Old Parish Church. The white building is Spread Eagle House, another early 19th century coaching inn but, unlike Selkirk’s County Hotel, it has been converted into flats. We had a holiday rental here some years ago, which wasn’t an unalloyed success – however, checking online, I find it has been much upgraded since. Spread Eagle House Kelso Abbey Kelso Old Parish Church After that brief jaunt around some Borders town, next time we’ll move out to the countryside – with more about Sir Walter Scott. Share this:
