Description
Lantern slide showing the Rose Window at Dryburgh Abbey in Scotland.
Dryburgh Abbey is a Premonstratensian abbey founded in 1150 by David I of Scotland. It is located in the Scottish Borders, about 6 miles south of Melrose. The abbey was largely destroyed during the Scottish Reformation in the 16th century, but the ruins remain a popular tourist destination.
The rose window at Dryburgh Abbey is one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in Scotland. It is located in the west end of the abbey church, and it is thought to have been built in the early 13th century. The window is made up of 12 lancets, which are arranged in a radial pattern. The lancets are filled with stained glass, which depicts scenes from the Bible.
