Jedburgh is a very pleasant town set on a hill and has two spectacular buildings. The first comprises the remains of the 11th century Abbey, one of the well known Border Abbeys together with Kelso, Dryburgh and Melrose. They will be linked by a long distance footpath, the Abbeys Way.

The other building is the Mary, Queen of Scots House, so-called because she visited it in the sixteenth century. It has an exhibition about her life but is well worth a visit for its own sake as a splendid example of the period.
