Jedburgh’s historic setting attracts a significant influx of seasonal visitors. The Conservation Area covers much of the historic core including the Abbey and Castle Gaol. The Abbey was founded by David I in 1138 and was destroyed on the orders of Henry VIII of England. It is the most complete surviving Abbey in the Borders despite having been burned ‘nine times’. The Castle Gaol is situated at the highest point in the Town, built on the site of a medieval castle. It was once reputed to be the most important strong hold in the Scottish Borders.

It is a thriving Town, the centre offers a broad mix of independent shops, restaurants and businesses.
