The official Souvenir Sweetheart Abbey Guidebook.

This charming abbey was founded by Lady Dervorgilla of Galloway in 1273, as a shrine to both human and divine love. It was a memorial to her late husband John Balliol, Lord of Galloway and founder of Balliol College, Oxford. Their son John became King of Scots in 1292 but was forced to abdicate in the face of an English invasion. The abbey survived the bitter wars that followed, and its beautiful church remains almost intact today, a testament to a once-flourishing medieval monastery. This illustrated book describes the buildings and the stories of this unique place.
