The Royal Burgh of Jedburgh is ideally located for touring the Scottish and English Border country. This pretty town offers much of historic interest, plus golfing, fishing and sporting facilities. There is a good selection of
shops,
pubs and
restaurants and the annual common riding is a great attraction. Click on either picture for more information about Jedburgh. King David I founded the Augustinian priory on the
banks of the Jed Water around 1138 to demonstrate to his own subjects, and to those in England that he could create a magnificent building in the southernmost part of his kingdom. Its position on the steeply sloping
banks of the river, allowed the monks to create the huge cross-shaped plan of nave, presbytery and transepts in a prominent position while the cloister, chapter house, cellars and other accommodation could be built on lower levels, leaving the flowing arches of the nave to dominate the site. Made from local stone, it took over 100 years to complete the abbey. In the same century as it was completed, the abbey was badly damaged by King Edward I and his successors, who regarded destroying castles and abbeys as a method of demonstrating who was in charge. Jedburgh Abbey is under the preservation of Historic Scotland, which offers an excellent visitor
centre on site. A short walk from the 12th century abbey and situated in a
garden of pear trees stands Mary Queen of Scots House. This house was visited by Mary in 1566. She had come to the Borders to preside at local courts and stayed for four weeks. Today the house is a popular museum and visitor
centre. The compelling drama of her life, with its tragic climax is told in a series of
rooms within the ancient house. The
rooms contain tapestries, oil paintings,
furniture, arms and armour and some of Mary's possessions. Mary Queen of Scots House
