Jedburgh Abbey |
| Description: |
Jedburgh Abbey is an inspiring site as the traveller enters Scotland from the borders
of England. It was founded in 1138 by David I and the Bishop of Glasgow. The building
is a mixture of gothic/roman style and was at the mercy of English troops being so
near to the border during the 13th to 16th centuries. Some of the stonework visible
at the site is actually English fortifications built by occupying forces.
It is owned by Historic Scotland.
