Abbotsford的点评
点评：Abbotsford is an amazing place to visit. It's a beautiful house with a wonderful walled garden full of late summer blooms, a miracle and testament to the gardener(s) considering the dismal summer we've had.
We went on a dreich day, always the best kind of day to tour stately homes and the drizzle pops the colours on the flowers as opposed to strong sunlight that bleaches them.
At first we were a little put out about the car park charge as we were paying for entry but it was very modest and we saw a few dog walkers using the car park to explore places away from the house and gardens, so understandable.
The entry fee was modest compared to other places. And the volunteer staff were super helpful and friendly, able to answer my questions and help me locate things I was interested in.
Unlike many other stately homes, Abbotsford has Sir Walter Scott's passion for collecting obscure trinkets associated with Scotland's legends, although dare I say he was probably responsible for those legends.
We were offered the guided audio tour that most visitors accepted but I already had a familiarity with Scott and the house, and prefer to explore and research at my own pace, connecting the curiosities with the legends associated with them.
Overlooked by everyone who we saw there were the book titles. Scott's mass collection of rare books are more than just ornaments. If Abbotsford wanted to add to the attraction then transcribing the full library into an accessible interactive digital library attached to the museum area, would result in a lot more frequent visits. Or even having them transcribed and republished for sale in the shop would help boost funds.
The gift shop was overpriced but there were still gifts available to suit everyone's budget for the souvenir hunters.
If I was forced to find a gripe, it would be the positioning of the health and safety items (emergency exit signs, lighting, security cameras, and extinguishers) were sometimes in places that took away from the perfect photo opportunity, but that's hardly anything to complain about.
It was a brilliant day out and a big shout out to all the Sunday volunteers for making the long trip from South West Northumberland worth the while. Abbotsford did not disappoint.

翻译：阿伯茨福德是一个令人惊叹的地方。这是一栋美丽的房子，有一个美丽的围墙花园，花园里盛开着夏末的花朵，考虑到我们度过的这个惨淡的夏天，这简直是一个奇迹，也是园丁的见证。
我们去的时候天气阴沉，但这种天气总是游览庄园的最佳天气，细雨使花朵的颜色更加鲜艳，而强烈的阳光会使花朵褪色。
起初，我们对停车费有点不满，因为我们要付入场费，但停车费很低，我们看到一些遛狗者使用停车场探索远离房子和花园的地方，所以可以理解。
与其他地方相比，入场费很低。志愿者工作人员非常乐于助人，也很友好，能够回答我的问题并帮助我找到我感兴趣的东西。
与许多其他庄园不同，阿伯茨福德拥有沃尔特·司各特爵士的热情，他热衷于收集与苏格兰传说有关的鲜为人知的小饰品，尽管我敢说他可能是这些传说的创造者。
我们被提供导游语音导览，大多数游客都接受了，但我已经熟悉了斯科特和这座房子，更喜欢按照自己的节奏探索和研究，将好奇心与与之相关的传说联系起来。
我们在那里看到的每个人都忽略了书名。斯科特收藏的大量稀有书籍不仅仅是装饰品。如果阿伯茨福德想增加吸引力，那么将整个图书馆转录成一个与博物馆区域相连的可访问交互式数字图书馆，将导致更频繁的访问。甚至将它们转录并重新出版在商店出售也有助于增加资金。
礼品店的价格过高，但纪念品爱好者仍然可以买到适合每个人预算的礼物。
如果非要我挑出一个缺点，那就是健康和安全物品（紧急出口标志、照明、安全摄像头和灭火器）的位置有时会影响完美的拍照机会，但这没什么可抱怨的。
这是美好的一天，非常感谢所有周日志愿者，他们让从西南诺森伯兰长途跋涉而来的人觉得不虚此行。阿伯茨福德没有让人失望。
