Information about the Dryburgh Abbey and Hotel ghosts such as the Grey Lady and the Monk ghost:
Dryburgh Abbey at St Boswells, Melrose by the Scottish borders was built in the 12th century and was ruinous by the 19th century. A house was built amongst the ruins and then the baronial style Dryburgh Abbey Country House was built after this was demolished. The surrounding 10 acres of grounds that belong to the Hotel sit by the banks of the River Tweed. The ruins of the original Abbey are contained in these grounds.
In the Dryburgh Abbey Graveyard are buried many famous Scots such as Scottish writer and poet Sir Walter Scott and the First World War Field Marshal Earl Douglas Haig.

My new novel:
The Aberdeen skies are under attack from an enemy jet. It is spilling a strange yellow smoke. Minutes later, people start killing each other.
Former Royal Air Force Regiment Gunner Jason Harper witnesses this and then his wife, Pippa, telephones him, shouting that she needs him. They then get cut off. He sets straight out, unprepared for the nightmare that unfolds during his journey. Everyone seems to want to kill him.
Along the way, he pairs up with fellow survivor Imogen. But she enjoys killing the living dead far too much. Will she kill Jason in her blood thirst? Or will she hinder his journey through this zombie filled dystopian landscape to find his pregnant wife?
The Fence is the first in this series of post-apocalyptic military survival thrillers from the torturous mind of local horror and science fiction novel writer C.G. Buswell.

In the 16th century a woman in a house near to Dryburgh Abbey fell in love with a monk, though some sources state it was a clergyman. They began a secret love affair but in time the Abbot found out about their forbidden love. The monk was sentenced to death for breaking his strict religious vows. Her lover was hanged in view of her house.
The woman, whose name has been lost to history, was so distraught she committed suicide by throwing herself off the nearby bridge and into the Tweed. She drowned but in death her spirit haunts the bridge and sometimes the new building of the Dryburgh Abbey House Hotel. She appears as a grey lady ghost. Sightings of the grey lady ghost of Dryburgh are more frequent during unrest at the Dryburgh Abbey Hotel such as during renovation work.
There have been many sightings of monk ghosts at the ruins of Dryburgh Abbey. Chanting and singing has been heard.

Have you seen my beautiful golden retriever Lynne out and about in Aberdeen? Ask her for a high-five! She's a Bravehound PTSD assistance dog, so we'll often be in shops, restaurants, and the cinema together.
We've written a book where I talk about growing up in Aberdeen and then joining the army to be a medic and nurse, and developing military Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
I also talk about losing my son to suicide and the therapy I have had at Royal Cornhill Hospital and grief support groups in Aberdeen.
The author, Damien Lewis, said of Lynne:
"A powerful account of what one dog means to one man on his road to recovery. Both heart-warming and life-affirming. Bravo Chris and Lynne. Bravo Bravehound."
