Jedburgh

Jedburgh is a town and royal burgh in Roxburghshire. It stands on the Jed Water, a tributary of the River Teviot. It is only ten miles from the border with Northumberland, and is dominated by the substantial ruins of Jedburgh Abbey. Other notable buildings in the town include Mary, Queen of Scots' House and Jedburgh Castle Gaol, now a museum.

Jedburgh enjoys Borders traditions like the annual Callant's Rideout. Bands of pipes and drums add local colour, and delicacies of the town include Jethart Snails and Jethart Pears. Another annual event is the Jethart Hand Ba' game. (Read more)
