Jedburgh
Castle is a 12th century earthwork motte and bailey fortress, founded by King
David I. Nothing now remains of the royal stone castle, which was occupied by
both the Scottish and the English until 1409. The castle was then destroyed, to
deny its use to the English and a 19th century Victorian prison now stands on
the site. Nearby is Queen Mary's House and 4
miles west is Fatlips Castle.
Jedburgh Castle is located in the town centre, off Castle Gate. 47 miles south-east of Edinburgh, on the A6094-A68.
The site is owned by the Scottish Borders Council and open daily, Easter to October Monday to Saturday 10:00-16:45pm, Sunday 13:00-16:00pm.
Car parking is by the side of the road.
