EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the haunting beauty of Sweetheart Abbey in Scotland. Located just outside the village of New Abbey near Dumfries, this medieval Gothic abbey has a rich history dating back to the 13th century.
Despite its name, which suggests a sense of romance and love, Sweetheart Abbey is now in ruins, but still retains much of its historical charm. The abbey was founded in 1275 by Lady Devorgilla of Galloway as a tribute to her late husband John Balliol. It served as a place for monks to pray for their souls and those of their loved ones.
The centuries have taken their toll on Sweetheart Abbey, but it remains an impressive sight with its crumbling walls and majestic arches. The gothic architecture is still evident, giving visitors a glimpse into the past and allowing them to imagine what life was like during the abbey's heyday.
As you gaze upon this print from Rights Managed, you can almost feel the weight of history that surrounds Sweetheart Abbey. It serves as a reminder of Scotland's rich heritage and the enduring legacy left behind by those who came before us.
