Mary Queen Of Scots' Visitors Centre

Closed at the moment because of C-19, but well worth a visit at other times - there's plenty of information available and it gives a fascinating insight into Mary Queen of Scots' life and the time spent in this 16th Century Tower House. The garden is a nice quiet place to rest your legs, even if the museum isn't open, and there are some of the famous Jedburgh pear trees

Historic House, once used by Mary Queen of Scots. It is only a small property, but is packed with a information and artifacts from the time of Queen Mary's visit and subsequent years. Covering the whole of her historic life with excellent information boards and paintings. So much better than we had expected and entrance is free. Though it deserves a donation to help with the upkeep. Great visit 😎👍

Brilliant!!! Marys story told whilst walking around the rooms in this beautiful house. Her final letter, her demise and her beautiful tribute upstairs. Definitely worth a visit, lovely gardens with pear trees. Shop available.

Lots of educational history and beautiful grounds, they have a westie trail for the children

Car parking here is very limited to street parking if you can find it so best to park near Jedburgh Abbey as it's only a few minutes walk to here. Mary Queen Of Scots Visitor Centre is free so why not visit the Abbey as well which is half price due to some restrictions.

The house is a fabulous building set in a well presented walled garden.Very relaxing and suitable for a picnic. The tour of the house includes story boards to explain the history behind the building and you can see Mary Queen Of Scots death mask that shows what she looked like in good detail. You probably won't need more than hour so worth planning to visit Jedburgh Abbey and Jedburgh Castle Jail (free entry) both in easy walking distance although the road to the Jail is quite steep (it has it's own car park).

Set in the centre of historic Jedburgh, this 16th century towerhouse tells the story of Scotland’s tragic queen – Mary’s month in Jedburgh in 1566 was a turning point in her life. The displays of paintings, objects and textiles associated with Mary explore not only her life and times, but also the cult that has grown up around her story.

The period feel inside the house has been preserved with thoughtful design that allows the story of Mary’s life to be presented in an engaging way. The Rogues Gallery introduces the individuals in the drama of Mary’s life, while the Last Letter Room reveals her final thoughts before her execution.

Also find out about her ill-fated ride to Hermitage Castle to meet her adviser and future husband, the Earl of Bothwell, which resulted in her falling gravely ill. She would later lament ‘Would that I had died in Jedburgh.’

The house sits in attractive gardens, home to some of Jedburgh’s famous pear trees, descendants of the original trees planted around Jedburgh Abbey in the early 1800s.

When in Jedburgh..
No fixed price instead have a donation suggestion which I feel was great.
Great piece of history

Lovely house with so much history. It's free entry but we left a donation. The lady behind the desk was so nice and helpful after her husband rang her from the jail we were looking around so we could visit
