The additions to this grand mansion render the edifice of great extent, and the situation is one of the most delightful in the vicinity of " pleasant Teviotdale." JEDBURGH ABBEY. Jedbukgh, the country town of Roxburgh, and a royal burgh, is two miles aoove the influx of the river Jed with the Tweed, ten miles from Kelso, and forty-six miles by Lauder from Edinburgh. The ancient name was Jedworth, and the district was known as the Forest of Jedworth ; but another Jedworth represented by a hamlet called Old Jedworth, is about five miles farther up the vales of the Jed. 1 The origin of the burgh, like that of many others, was the Castle of Jedburgh, the founder of which is unknown. This extinct edifice was one of the favourite residences of David I., who by the advice of his preceptor John, also designated Achaius, afterwards Bishop of Glasgow, induced a colony of Canons-Regular, or Augustines, of the Order of St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo, from the Abbey of St. Quentin at Beauvais in the department of the Oise, to settle at Jedworth near his Castle. The exact date is variously stated in 11 18 and 1147." The first may be the year of the arrival of the Canons, and the second that of the foundation of the Abbey, which was at first a Priory. Few particulars are recorded of the Abbots of Jedburgh, whose names are involved in obscurity.
