Jedburgh's history is anchored by its abbey and by one of the most dramatic royal visits in Scottish history.
A border abbey founded in 1138
Jedburgh Abbey was founded in 1138 by David I for Augustinian canons, and like most border abbeys it suffered repeatedly during the Wars of Scottish Independence and the centuries of conflict that followed.
The house where Mary, Queen of Scots nearly died
In 1566, Mary, Queen of Scots stayed in what's now known as Mary Queen of Scots House while presiding over a circuit court. On hearing that the Earl of Bothwell lay ill at Hermitage Castle, she made the perilous ride to see him; the journey back left her so ill that she is said to have later remarked, 'Would that I had died in Jedburgh.'
