It is 10 miles from the border with England and is dominated by the substantial ruins of Jedburgh Abbey. Newcastle Upon Tyne is 58 miles to the south and Edinburgh is 48 miles to the north. The abbey dates from 1154 and many of the more important finds from excavations are displayed on site in the modern visitor centre attached to the Abbey ruins. Much damaged over the years, especially by invasions from England, is still one of the finest late Norman buildings remaining in Scotland. Now roofless, part of the church was used as the parish church into the 19th century. Jedburgh Castle and Jail sits on a hill overlooking the town. The castle was fought over during the wars of Scottish Independence and was demolished by the Scots in 1409. The site of the original castle was used to build the reform prison, the construction of which started in 1820. Entry is free.
