i took this shot thourgh the outside window of the chapel used a flash and long exposure the Chapel House is still used for weddings to this day .
Dryburgh Abbey was founded in 1152 by Premonstratensian monks (Augustinians, also known as White Canons) on a site perhaps made sacred by Saint Modan around 600. It was founded by monks from Alnwick on land owned by Hugh de Moreville, the father of one of the assassins of Saint Thomas Becket.
Dryburgh Abbey was burned by English troops in 1322, after which it was restored and patronised by Robert I of Scotland. It was again burned in 1385, but it flourished in the fifteenth century. It was finally destroyed in 1544, briefly to survive until the Reformation, when it was given to the Earl of Mar by James VI of Scotland.
The Earl of Buchan bought the land in 1786; the property is now managed by Historic Scotland. Sir Walter Scott and Douglas Haig are buried in its grounds.
The chapter house can be and is used for weddings through historic Scotland for more information on this visit the Dryburgh Abbey web site

Hello Bryan,

I really like this photograph! You have displayed excellent detail in the bricks of the abbey. Good lighting. The only thing I may have done differently is cropped out the front side of the image to put more focus on the windows.

Nice work

regards,
Christian

Hi Bryan

This is a brilliant shot of the Chapel House as the light wasn't that good, I took one at a higher iso and it doesn't look this good. The colours are great and the details are as sharp as a pin well done.

Regards
Jon

Hi Bryan,

Great note. I was about to write that I would prefer it without the wedding bells, and then took a look at the workshop. I like the history and I like that it still serves a function, but the image is served better without the fluff.

Interesting colors and good light and sharpness.

Each day I see more photos of Scotland and it's calling me...
