Jedburgh Jail and Museum

The Victorian prison, now a museum of imprisonment and local history, is situated on the site of the Royal Castle of Jedburgh. These include finds made during excavations upon nearby Dunion Hill Iron Age settlement and at Greyfriars' Garden in the town.

The Royal Castle of Jedburgh occupied this site from the 12th century until 1409 when it was destroyed to deny its use to English soldiers. John Howard's Reformatory Imprisonment principles influenced the design and construction of this prison in 1820-1824 on the site of the town gallows.
