A monochromatic engraving of Dryburgh Abbey in ruins and overgrown with vegetation. To the left is a group of ruins with tall walls that terminate in points. The far wall bathed in sunlight still has the bar tracing of the window still intact. To the right, a piece of a trancept with its pointed arches, compound columns and open gallery still remain. In front of this is a small hill where a curious urn has been placed to mark Sir Walter Scott's sepulchre.
