In Focus
The
Commendator's House Museum lays claim to having the largest collection
of medieval artefacts on display anywhere in Scotland. It forms part
of Melrose Abbey, and entry
to it is via the visitor reception building for the abbey itself, at
the west end of the site. You reach the Commendator's
House from the main part of the abbey by
passing through a gate in the south wall, on the far side of the refectory
and kitchen range from the cloister. ( More

Friend or Foe? by Ken Lussey (14 July 2025).
A fast-paced thriller set largely in south-west Scotland during World War Two. It’s late June 1943. Bob and Monique Sutherland’s
journey home from Malta is interrupted in London to hear Soviet claims of a German spy. Back in Scotland, they travel with a Military
Intelligence 11 team to Galloway to track down a ghost who may already have uncovered vital military secrets. When two Soviet agents
arrive in Galloway to help, Bob and Monique need to decide if the spy exists, or whether he is a Soviet invention intended to lure
MI11 into danger.
