About Us


Abbotsford was designed and built by the famous author Sir Walter Scott as both his home and the location for his extensive collection of books and historical memorabilia, and was first opened to the public in 1833, five months after his death.

After the death of his last descendent in residence Dame Jean Maxwell-Scott in 2004, The Abbotsford Trust was created. Our mission is to inspire, inform and engage audiences in the life and legacy of Sir Walter Scott.

As custodians of Abbotsford, we aim to safeguard the house, collections, gardens and estate for future generations, enabling diverse communities to benefit from all that we care for.


Abbotsford is considered to be one of the most important heritage sites in Scotland and is becoming increasingly important to its local community as a place to find natural beauty, culture, entertainment, and enjoy a fun family day out.

Through our community programme we support people with a variety of needs, and we are supported by a thriving community of volunteers.
