Tour Scotland video of the Game Larder, Icehouse and terraces at Abbotsford House near Melrose on ancestry visit to Roxburghshire, Scottish Borders, Scotland. The Castle style game larder and icehouse was built into upper terrace and connected to house by tunnel for Sir Walter Scott by John Smith of Darnick. John Smith of Darnick also created the Wallace Statue at Bemersyde House. His family were builders and masons during the first half of the 19th century, and they have to their credit an extension to Abbotsford, Dryburgh Abbey House, Eckford Church, Gattonside House, Hawick North Bridge, the bridge over the Hermitage Water, Melrose Parish Church, and Yetholm Parish Church.
