day 3, part 3, Abbotsford

On Tuesday, after Leaderfoot Bridge, we went to Abbotsford. We got there a few minutes before it opened, at 10 am. Abbotsford was the home of author, Sir Walter Scott. You may have read Ivanhoe, Rob Roy or Waverly. I have not. But he was pretty famous. The most famous writer of his day, and a real celebrity. We went through the museum and gift shop, and then went down to the house.
