	History of Melrose Scotland, George and Abbotsford Hotel
		The Inn enjoyed a good reputation for looking after the travelers, and their stabling and care of the horses was considered the best in the district, the latter being important as the Melrose section of road was then one of the worst in the journey.
		The size of the Inn in these days may be judged from the fact that Scott and Wordsworth had to share a room, the landlady refusing to make the arrangements until she had Sir Walters agreement.
		The word "Abbotsford" in the present name obviously owes its inclusion to Scott's connection although it is not clear when this was first used, the earliest mention of the George and Abbotsford Hotel Company in 1876.
