030.15 The ruins of the Abbey are principally in the Saxon style of architecture, but the most beautiful, as well as the most interesting, part is St Mary's Aisle - It is of beautifully early English Gothic work, its gracefully arched roof is supported by a variety of clustered columns, of the most exquisite tasteful workmanship, in which are deposited the venerable remains of "Sir Walter Scott" [name underlined] who was buried on the 26 Sep. [September] 1832 - The remains of Lady Scott were interred here in 1826; and Colonel Sir Walter Scott their eldest son, was entombed at the side of his celebrated father in 1847 -
