This
section was totally rebuilt in May 2005 with the addition of over 200 fresh
views. It is ordered into counties although many of the old names are used.
It does not contain any of the fine Scottish views of George Washington
Wilson (except one as an example) which cover much of the same geographical
area. These can be viewed by clicking here.

The Abbey is given the name Sweetheart Abbey because it was built in the

Dumfries after the death of her husband John Balliol (in whose
honour she founded Balliol College in Oxford). Lady Devorgilla is
reputed to have carried her deceased husband's heart everywhere

presumably still is, buried in the Abbey with her husband's heart.
