Sweetheart Abbey was founded in 1273 by Lady Dervorgilla of Galloway in memory of her husband John Balliol. On her death, she was laid to rest next to her husband’s embalmed heart and the monks named their abbey in memory of her. Despite the prolonged wars with England, and the vicissitudes of time, this beautiful abbey remains a graceful ruin, almost entire.
Sweetheart Abbey a été fondée en 1273 par Lady Dervorgilla du comté de Galloway, en mémoire de son défunt mari John Balliol. Malgré les guerres avec l'Angleterre et les vicissitudes du temps, la ruine apparaît toujours gracieuse, quasi intacte.
