A walk up a hill to Castlegate brings you to Jedburgh Castle Jail and Museum, once site of…read moreJedburgh's medieval castle. The castle was totally obliterated by the Scots in the early 1400s to ensure the English didn't make use of it. In the 19th century Jedburgh Prison was built on the site. The grusome experience of prison life in the 19th century is laid bare here via displays, cellblock recreations and audio visual shows. A jailer's house is also onsite. Jedburgh Castle is medieval, the prison dates from the 1820s Built in 1820 Jedburgh Castle Jail is an important example of Howard Reform Prison architecture. The history of the Royal Burgh of Jedburgh is shown in the Jailer's House. I have mixed feelings about this place. When I went it was getting towards dusk. The place is huge and very lonely/empty. I wandered around the floors alone, looked at the condemmed cell, saw everything but never felt comfortable. Suddenly I had to get out and I actually ran. It is supposedly haunted. I bet! Go with a crowd on a sunny day if this kind of place appeals to you. was £2 entrance.

Our room, the Grey room was grand and creepy all at once. We had the entire castle to ourselves during our stay except for a few workers. We loved walking the grounds while imagining what happened here so long ago. We were lucky enough to meet the owner of the castle, Sir Humphry Wakefield, who brought it back to life after it was left in shambles. We loved touring the castle. The coffee shop was great with its lovely food and giant stone fireplace to warm up in front of. We bought a couple keepsakes in the gift shop, hoping it would be the only thing we'd be taking home from this place. Wish we could have stayed another night, but even if you're not a ghost hunter, I think a stay in this beautiful castle is well worth your time!

The castle is a lovely medival castle which has a great hall and a room full of armour and weapons The most interesting thing is the torture chambers which include a rack, thumb screws and an iron maiden. The pit prison has the bones of a child who died here and the bones of the blue boy were supposed to be found in one of the walls during renovation Lots of the rooms are supposdly haunted and there are always little orbs on photots brought back from here when you take pictures at the lake. They do have overnight stays at the castle. A good place to go for those interested in castle or ghosts

This demolished castle is up on a hill in varying states of wreckage. There is (or there was no charge when I was there October 2014) no charge to enter. We walked around the lands and up the steps to take it all in. Be careful if they're still allowing people upstairs it is rickety and there are lots of tripping hazards. Despite its age the demolished castle and lands are superbly kept. The dogs ran around the grounds and through the halls and jumped over the partially erect walls. They had a field day. As did we! We walked around for a few hours and even sat and had a picnic before we left it. If you're visiting the area definitely don't miss this one.
