The abbey, one of the finest ecclesiastical ruins in Scotland, was founded by David I. in 1118. The prison occupies the site of the ancient castle, destroyed in 1409. The houses still exist in which lodged Mary Queen of Scots (1566), Prince Charles Edward Stuart (1745), Burns (1787), and AVordsworth (1803). Sir David Brewster (1781-1868), the scientific writer, was a native, and James Thomson (1700-1748), the poet, received his early education at the old grammar-school. Jedburgh formed one of the Had- dington District of Parliamentary Burghs, which returned 1 member until 1885.
