Sweetheart Abbey and John Paul Jones Cottage

Sweetheart Abbey the remains of a late 13th C and early 14 C Cistercian Abbey founded by Devorgilla, Lady of Galloway, in memory of her husband John Baliol. Devorgilla, is buried in the presbyery with a casket containing her husband's embalmed heart.
Stonemasons from Historic Scotland were working on making the arch safe for another 200 years.

We visited John Paul Jones birthplace at Arbigland Esate.


Hands across the seas!
