Settlement Profile Jedburgh
SETTLEMENT PROFILE JEDBURGH HOUSING MARKET AREA LOCALITY POPULATION Central Cheviot 4,030 PLACEMAKING CONSIDERATIONS The historic settlement of Jedburgh was built either side of the Jed Water which runs on a north-south axis, and is framed by Lanton Hill (280 metres) and Black Law (338 metres) to the west and south west and by lower more undulating hills to the east. The Conservation Area of Jedburgh includes much of the historic core of the town including the Abbey and the Castle Gaol. Similar to Edinburgh Old Town in its layout, Jedburgh has a long street that rises terminating with the castle at the highest point. The High Street is characterised by a mix of commercial, residential and social facilities, the central area is focused around where the Mercat Cross once sat with roads leading off in various directions. Properties within the Conservation Area are built in rows with some detached properties particularly along Friarsgate. Ranging from two to three and a half storeys in height, properties vary in styles. Although the elements highlighted above are important and contribute greatly to the character of Jedburgh they do not do so in isolation. Building materials and architectural details are also just as important. Sandstone, some whinstone, harling, and slate all help to form the character. Architectural details such as sash and case windows (though there are some unfortunate uPVC replacements), rybats, margins, detailed door heads above some entrances and in some instances pilasters all add to the sense of place. Any new development must therefore aim to contribute to the existing character of the Conservation Area. -

BY ALEXANDER JEFFREY, AUTHOR OF THE "GUIDE TO THE ANTIQUITIES OF THE BORDER," &C. VOL. II. EDINBURGH: THOMAS C. JACK, 92, PRINCES STREET. «*%« PEEFACE, In presenting to the public the second volume of the History and Antiquities of Roxburghshire, the author, while acknowledging with gratitude the kindness and encouragement with which he has been honoured since the commencement of the work, has to express regret at the long period which has elapsed since the publication of the first volume. The preparation of a work of the kind, requiring scrupulous accuracy and fidelity, is of itself a laborious task ; but, when added, as in the present instance, to heavy professional duties, only a few can appreciate the severity of the toil. The work was intended to have been confined to two volumes, but the author had not proceeded far with the present volume when he found it impossible to condense the materials within such limits, and do anything like justice to the subject. He has therefore been induced to extend the work to another volume, and the doing so, he hopes, will meet the approval of the public. -
Walking the Borders Abbeys Way, 2017
Walking the Borders Abbeys Way, 2017 By Christine McNaughton My friend, and regular walking companion, Marjorie have, over the past few years, walked several long-distance routes. For 2017 we decided on The Borders Abbeys Way, a 68 mile-long route linking the abbey towns in the Scottish Borders. We decided to make Melrose our base for the week so booked into a hotel along with my husband John and several friends. L to R: John & Christine McNaughton & Marjorie at Melrose Abbey. The Temple of the Muses. Day 1: On the first day we drove up to Melrose in the morning, and after registering at the hotel, we made our way to Melrose. The Abbey was founded in 1136 by the monks of the Cistercian Order at the request of David I of Scotland and several Scottish Kings are buried there. In 1921 a lead container believed to hold the embalmed heart of Robert the Bruce was found under the Chapter House. From here we would walk the six miles to Dryburgh Abbey. John walked with us on this section, and after going along the ancient Priors Walk (a route used by the masons during the building of the Abbey) we reached the Rhymer’s Stone. This marks the place where the Eildon Tree once stood, and where Thomas Rhymer is said to have met the Queen of Fairies and delivered prophecies in the 13th century. A few miles on we made a small detour to see the Temple of the Muses. This circular neo-classical “temple” is dedicated to James Thompson (1700-1748) poet, and was erected by David Stuart Erskine, 11th Earl of Buchan.
