Very interesting and informative, The grandaughters enjoyed it, so did us adults, it is free but we left a donation, definitely worth a visit.
A really interesting place that shows what jails were like 200 years ago. The cells really show you how small and horrid condition were back then. It also includes the towns museum itself, which includes how the town was formed and notable people from the area etc. Plus it's free to go in!
Very interesting and lovely place to visit great views too
Absolutely awesome visit to Jedburgh Castle Jail & Court. A fantastic combination of borders history going back to Roman time. The history of the castle dating back to 1100 hundreds up to the present day. It's a must visit....
A fab wee museum. Free entry donation welcome. My 13year old son loved it.
Good place for a free day out. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
Great information in every room including the goal, you got to read about prisoners and the history of the castle. Free entry with optional donation. Wee shop, toilets, its located up a steep hill, beautiful grounds.
Absolutely loved being able to see all of the jail including cells. Made a donation as its usually free. The guy on the desk was great too (4/06 at 10:30)
