LOCATION

The town of Jedburgh is justifiably known as the 'Jewel of the Borders' and has a variety of shops, a swimming pool, fitness centre, primary and secondary schools. The historical Royal Burgh of Jedburgh lies ten miles north of the border with England. The Red Stone Abbey on the banks of the Jedwater was founded in 1138 and the Visitor Centre portrays the Abbey's turbulent past. The town has connections with Mary Queen of Scots who visited in 1566. Jedburgh is an attractive setting with riverside walks and colourful renovated buildings in the Market Place and Canongate.

DIRECTIONS

Travelling south on the A68 into Jedburgh, pass the Shell petrol station on the right and continue for approximately half a mile, taking the first right hand turn over the bridge. Turn right again then immediately left, driving towards St Johns Church. Turn left at the bottom of the hill opposite the church, taking the second right hand turn where you will see a sign for Briary Bank.
