Abbey with interesting history
In the Scottish Borders in the south-west, about 13 km from the town of Dumfries, this town is apparently lost in the middle of nowhere, but upon reaching it there are 2 hotels, a pub, 3 stores and 2 museums, and 3 churches. This means that it shouldn´t be so lost. The founding of the town dates back to the Middle Ages, due to the construction of an abbey known for its interesting history and foundation, called "The Sweet Heart Abbey ", which is the main attraction of this village. The town can not be more typical, centered on a main, low houses, long and white (common in this area of Dumfries) ...
