Interesting place Melrose Abbey - I've never been, but have read about it.... some interesting burials, including the heart of Robert the Bruce.

Yes - well worth a visit if you're in the area

If the resolution's up to it you should crop to "Victor Meldrew" on the right, there: be a cracking shot that.

That's a super sharp infinity. Lovely shot, almost unreal.

ETA - it was you wot shot the other shot. I'm not stalking you - honest! I so rarely comment on photos, but twice on yours.

You do seem to catch some good sunrise/sets dibdob! Last few I've been out for have been rather uneventful with no colour. Annoying at this time of year due to how early/late they are!!

Cheers - I have had many many failures also I can assure you!

(ps - made a small tweak to the pic so the original Flikr link is broken, sorry)

Thanks, but it's already pretty heavily cropped. I shot it on a my D700 with my 70-200mm f/2.8 AF-S VR, so I didn't have a lot of reach. It's a great workhorse of a lens but close focusing is not its strong point. ISO was up fairly high if I recall too.
