Jedburgh Castle Jail And Museum

About

This attraction may look like a grand castle – but inside is a different story! Visit the cell blocks of this 1820s jail to discover what life was like for prisoners and staff in what was a model prison in its day. Home to Jedburgh’s town museum with displays exploring the traditions, industries and the lives of famous local people, the Jail also offers lots of children’s activities to make this a fun family day out. There is a kids guide, gift shop and partial disabled access- ground floor displays are accessible for wheelchairs but upper floors are not. A fly-over video that gives a flavour of the Jail, including the currently closed Male Prisoner's Block. Jedburgh Castle Jail is a popular haunt for groups interested in ghostly goings on and is hired out most weekends during the evenings for paranormal investigations. See our website for details of our much anticipated Easter and Halloween Trails- always spooky, always fun!
