Gargoyle on Melrose Abbey by Walter Baxter
Melrose Abbey is laid out on a traditional east-west access. The west section is almost wholly absent other than its foundations. The eastern section is more intact. The northern cloisters are equally erased to foundation level.

The abbey is the only Scottish abbey to still retain some of its original floor tiles.

A graveyard serving the local community lies to the south and south-east of the abbey. The majority of stones date from the 19th century.
