Founded in 1138 by David I, Jedburgh Abbey is one of the four great abbeys built in the Borders in the Middle Ages. It is also one of the best preserved and its influence was such that it owned as many as twenty churches in the surrounding area. Its location close to the border, however, did not bring it luck and it was a prime target during the many conflicts with England, such as the wars of independence. We still appreciate the quality of its Romanesque and Gothic architecture despite the damage of time.

L'abbaye de Jedburgh est à visiter de préférence sous le soleil mais elle devient très étrange dès lors où le ciel s'assombrit. C'est un lieu majestueux et chargé d'histoire qui ne laisse pas indifférent. Très belle présentation dans l'espace à côté de l'entrée qui nous en dit plus sur les moines venus de France.
N'oubliez pas de demander l'audioguide en français dont les explications sont intéressantes.
