An old Scottish apple, introduced around 1830 by the monks of Melrose Abbey. Grown almost exclusively in the border counties and very hardy. Large, tall, conical apples, with smooth, pale skin and red markings. A cooker that keeps some shape when cooked and has a good sweet/sharp flavour; it is also a refreshing and mild sweet eater.
