LOCATION
Lanton is a picturesque village situated approximately 1½ miles north of Jedburgh and within easy reach of the A68. It boasts a fine village hall and plays host to some of the famous rideouts during the Jedburgh Festival. Jedburgh itself nearby is justifiably known as the 'Jewel of the Borders' and has a variety of shops, several excellent restaurants/bistros, a swimming pool, fitness centre, primary and secondary schools. 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.
