The Great Western Doorway at Dryburgh Abbey, 15th Century. The plaque notes the good facework of the walling has been robbed and there was previously a large window overhead.
"Founded in about 1150 by Hugh de Moreville, Dryburgh is one of the large number of abbeys established under the influence of King David I, an active reformer of both church and state. de Moreville chose the Premonstratensian order for Dryburgh. This order of canons, founded in 1120, adopted an austere rule based on that followed by the Cistercians.
Like the other Border abbeys -- Jedburgh, Melrose and Kelso -- Dryburgh suffered during the repeated wars with England. The English burnt the abbey twice in the 14th Century and at least once again in the 16th Century. Each attack necessitated rebuilding, the character of which differed with the Abbey's changing fortunes. By the 1540s the abbey was in severe decline with its revenues appropriated by a secular leader, a commendator. The only repairs carried out following the attach of 1555 was the construction of a new house for the commendator among the ruins.
In the late 18th Century the Earl of Buchan set about transforming the crumbling remains into the focal point of a remarkable pleasure ground. He planted shrubs and trees, carried out excavations in the grounds and tried to establish the abbey as the focal point of his "Temple of Caledonian Fame," a memorial to those who had contributed to Scotland's greatness. It is only appropriate therefore that Dryburgh is the last resting place of the great promoter of Scotland, Sir Walter Scott. Like Earl Haig, the First World War commander, who is also buried here, Scott's family have connections with Dryburgh going back centuries."

Tauranga Bay on the walkway back from the Seal Colony, near Westport. Day two of our four day trip away over Arthur's Pass and back through the Lewis Pass. February 9, 2012. South Island, New Zealand.
Cape Foulwind is a prominent headland on the West Coast of New Zealand's South Island, overlooking the Tasman Sea. It is located ten kilometres west of the town of Westport. It was previously named Rocky Cape by Abel Tasman, the first European to visit it, in 1642. The present name was bestowed upon this promontory by English explorer James Cook in 1770 after his ship Endeavour was blown quite a distance offshore from this point.
Tauranga Bay at Cape Foulwind is home to a fur seal breeding colony, which is accessible by a well-maintained walking track.
Cape Foulwind reputedly hosts New Zealand's closest tavern/pub to Australia, the Star Tavern.
A large cement works is located close to the cape, taking advantage of the abundant limestone, sand and clay in the immediate area, plus nearby coal mines.
In the lee of the cape, toward the Buller River mouth lies Carters Beach, claimed to be the only safe swimming beach on the West Coast of the South Island.
