Jedburgh Castle Jail

This collection consists of two parts. The first relates to that period of the building's use as the town jail and the second reflects the history of the burgh. Prison history is covered by original material from the Govener's block and the debtor's prison and reflects daily life in a 19th century reform prison. The local history collections comprise a good prehistoric assemblage from the Dunion Hill site, small medieval collections from the Friary site, including glassware, sheds and masonry, burgh material such as town weights and measures, Burgess tickets, town drums, etc. and a small range of local trade and industrial artefacts.
