Abbotsford es una casa histórica en la región de Borders, en el sur de Escocia, cercana al pueblo de Melrose y al sur del río Tweed. Fue el hogar del novelista y poeta Walter Scott.
El núcleo de la propiedad era una pequeña granja de 0,4 km2, llamada Cartleyhole . Este terreno fue comprado por Walter Scott en 1811. En un principio construyó una pequeña villa y la llamó Abbotsford, creando el nombre aludiendo a un vado por el cual los abades de la Abadía de Melrose cruzaban el río. Posteriormente Scott construyó varias adiciones a la casa hasta transformarla en una mansión adornada con figuras esculpidas en las paredes de piedra sobre castillos y abades. Dentro de la casa integró una enorme biblioteca, una colección de muebles antiguos, armas, armaduras y otras curiosidades, especialmente enlazadas con la historia de Escocia.
