Sir Walter Scott was an obsessive collector of books, artefacts, weaponry and more, much of which can still be seen in the Abbotsford Collections. Abbotsford House architecture and interior design made it an iconic building of the 19th century Scottish Baronial style, and it remains a key site in the history of European Romanticism There are 9,500 books on the shelves in Abbotsford’s Library and Study, which span hundreds of years of publishing history, including the oldest bound book in Scotlan
