Sweetheart Abbey, near Dumfries.
Sweetheart Abbey was founded in 1273 by Lady Dervorgilla of Galloway in memory of her husband John Balliol who had died five years earlier.
On her death, she was laid to rest next to her husband’s embalmed heart and the Cistertian Monks named their abbey in memory of her.
