Melrose Abbey

Join Sir James Douglas and his followers as they get ready to set out on crusade - carrying with them the heart of King Robert the Bruce.

Meet crusaders and pilgrims, who’ll tell you how they’re preparing for this long, hard journey.

Visit tradespeople at their stalls in our medieval encampment and witness arena performances.

Look out for Sir Thomas Randolph, the battle-hardened governor of Scotland.
