Dryburgh
Appearance
Dryburgh is a village in the Scottish Borders region of Scotland, famous for the ruined Dryburgh Abbey and its neighbour Dryburgh Abbey Hotel.
The Temple of the Muses
This circular nine columned gazebo stands on a mound overlooking the River Tweed at the west end of the village. It is dedicated to the poet James Thomson, author of The Seasons, and his bust can be seen on the top of the structure.
The temple originally contained a stone statue of the Apollo Belvedere on a circular pedestal showing nine Muses with laurel wreaths. Bronze figures of the Four Seasons by Siobhan O'Hehir were installed as a replacement in 2002.
