An excellent starting point to learn about Scottish Borders history, landscape and the border ballads
Smailholm Tower的点评
点评：Smailholm is a hidden gem that has been standing on a volcanic rock for 500 years. I take all my visitors here because Smailholm gives you an introduction to South of Scotland landscapes, architecture, history, the reivers, the early years of Sir Walter Scot and the border ballads all in one hit! There's an excellent pottery, too, in nearby Smailholm Village. Not only do you get superb views from the ramparts south to the Cheviots and north to the Lammermuirs, there is a free exhibition of sculptures by Kelso artist Anne Carrick that illustrate the life of Sir Walter Scott and some of the main stories in Scott's 'Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border' that was a huge hit in the early 1800s. The connection between Smailholm and Scottish literature goes beyond Sir Walter Scott. The later great Scottish writer Muriel Spark was passionate about the border ballads. Some of Spark's novels, such as 'The Ballad of Peckham Rye', contain elements of the supernatural and the darker side of her novels can be traced to Muriel Spark's early fascination with the border ballads.
翻译：斯梅尔霍姆是一颗隐藏的宝石，屹立在火山岩上已有500年之久。我每次都会带朋友来这里，因为斯梅尔霍姆能让你一次性领略苏格兰南部的风光、建筑、历史、劫掠者、沃尔特·斯科特爵士的早年生活以及边境民谣！附近的斯梅尔霍姆村还有一家很棒的陶器作坊。从城墙上，你不仅可以欣赏到南部切维厄特山脉和北部拉默缪尔山脉的壮丽景色，还能免费参观凯尔索艺术家安妮·卡里克创作的雕塑展，这些雕塑生动地展现了沃尔特·斯科特爵士的生平以及斯科特在19世纪初风靡一时的《苏格兰边境吟游诗》中的一些主要故事。斯梅尔霍姆与苏格兰文学的联系远不止沃尔特·斯科特爵士。后来伟大的苏格兰作家缪丽尔·斯帕克也对边境民谣情有独钟。斯帕克的一些小说，如《佩卡姆黑麦的歌谣》，包含超自然元素，而她小说中较为黑暗的一面可以追溯到穆里尔·斯帕克早期对边境民谣的迷恋。
