Sketching Scotland - Draw Abbotsford House - Ep.16

Learn how to draw famous Scottish landmarks in our Sketching Scotland video tutorial series. In this episode, you'll learn how to draw Abbotsford House. Abbotsford House is located in Melrose in The Scottish Borders. Set in beautiful grounds on the banks of The River Tweed, the house was built by one of Scotland’s most well-known novelists, Sir Walter Scott. Abbotsford sits amongst the landscape that inspired some of Scott’s best works such as ‘The Waverly Novels’ and ‘Lady of The Lake’. Scott began work on the house and gardens in the early 1800s and it is widely thought that the estate inspired some of his works which helped to ignite the Romantic Period. Sir Walter Scott was ahead of his time, looking after his health and wellbeing whilst struggling with what he called the ‘mulligrubs’ - today’s depression. The gardens at Abbotsford House are extensive, full of paths and trees which are bursting with character. He believed in the importance of fresh air and outdoor activities to boost his wellness. This belief perhaps inspired the grounds of Abbotsford House, which still instil a sense of calm and mindfulness today.
