On Friday 4th September we visited Abbotsford, the home of Sir Walter Scott, for our Annual Church Outing. We enjoyed a lovely day together which included exploring the grounds and gardens, a guided tour of the house, and having lunch at the café.

Our Annual Outings are a great way to visit a new place, meet new people, and enjoy a fun day out together as a Church community. We hope you can come next year
