Informations supplémentaires

In 1817, the 11th Earl of Buchan had erected the Temple, in the form of a Greek pavilion, as a tribute to James Thomson, the Ednam poet and author of "The Four Seasons" and the lyrics of Rule Britannia, and his bust can be seen on the top of the temple. This circular nine columned gazebo stands on Bass Hill, a mound overlooking the River TweedThe temple originally contained a stone statue of the Apollo Belvedere on a circular pedestal showing nine Muses with laurel wreaths. Bronze figures of the Four Seasons by Siobhan O'Hehirand, have replaced 'Apollo' which disappeared long ago.
