Talk:Newbattle Abbey

"Given to the nation" - tagged as a dubious claim
In 2017, two Assyrian reliefs were removed from Newbattle Abbey and sold for £8 million. See https://www.theartnewspaper.com/news/tory-peer-involved-in-controversial-sale-of-iraqi-antiquities? This suggests that the "Newbattle Abbey remained the home of the Marquesses of Lothian until being given to the nation" claim is not true, since Newbattle Abbey College appears to both own and be able to dispose of parts of Newbattle Abbey. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.26.115.87 (talk) 14:00, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
