Museum in castle jail built in 1823, housing displays on 19th-century prison life and local history.
I'm so glad we found this Castle to visit whilst we had a week holiday in Eyemouth. A lovely castle, free of charge to enter. Lots of history and cells to look inside. With added bonus of near by Queen Mary house , also free and an Abbey. I would 100% recommend a little tour of this castle. Great for kids to explore too. Little gift shop at the end of you want to take a souvenir home with you. Be a fantastic picnic area
We visited Jedburgh Castle & Jail museum (Free entry). I do recommend you make a donation though.I would say it was worth it. We very much enjoyed it here, and particularly loved the views over the town. The gardens and external part of the castle was a fantastic walk around. The Jail itself was very interesting. It was pretty horrendous back then with children being sent to prison for the smallest infraction. The gentleman on the desk was friendly and informative. I would visit again just to wander around the grounds.
Impressive fortress of a jail! The self guided tour took about an hour, the displays were very informative. If you are interested in history and the treatment of prisoners in days gone by, this is a place not to be missed.
Excellent to read about the history of the site and jail. Loved that it was free. Steep climb up the hill but worth it. There is a car park next to it if you don't fancy the walk up.
Very interesting place to visit. Very informative. Unfortunately dogs not allowed inside but while waiting with my dog for my daughter to go around I had a lovely conversation with a lady from Wolverhampton who was also waiting with her small dog for her husband and daughter to come out.
