It was great for free as no admission price although there is a donation box. Although the information on her life was OK I got the impression the link to Jedburgh was quite tenuous. 4 weeks really isn't that long. So I wasn't overwhelmed but this museum.

Interesting period house, exhibits well done with explanations of both the history of Mary Queen of Scots, but of the house and area as well. Staff friendly, willing to answer questions.

We have passed through Jedburgh many times on route home, but decided to call. There is a free car park a short walk from the house. The House has free entry, and is worth visiting to read all about the history of Mary Queen of Scots. Really worth a visit if you are passing.

Free entry to this historic home. Brimming at the seems with information and facts to walk you through the lifeline and history behind the home. Not massive so we were in and out in about 20 mins.

Mary, Queen of Scots visited Jedburgh in 1566 for justiciary meetings with the Burgesses of the town. During her stay she stayed at this old house which is thought to have been owned by the Kerr family of Ferniehirst Castle to the south of the town. The great house is now a free to see museum under the auspices of the Scottish Borders Council. The house is quite mesmerising. From the moment you enter, the warmth of the welcome is overcoming, they really are a happy lot. The visitor centre at the entrance is based in a large barrel-vaulted kitchen, the scene is set. Then we set off upstairs, with the most beautiful period mural on staring down from the walls. We are about to witness, the banqueting hall, the outer chamber, the Queen's bed chamber, the great hall, the Rogue's Gallery, the 'last letter' room and Maries room. Every room contains original fireplaces and much op Mary's personal possessions including a watch she had lost during her stay at Jedburgh. There is also a death mask of the queen, created from her severed head immediately after execution. It is a beautiful if quite eerie sight. A ancient tapestry, from before the building of the house, is also on display. The house is surrounded by the most beautiful gardens which contain a large engraved rock which once formed the base of a 9th century Celtic Cross. if you love old history, if you love the romance and tragedy of Scotland's Queen and the beauty of well prepared gardens, you will love Mary, Queen of Scots House in Jedburgh.

We stumbled upon this place & another free attraction, so would recommend paying a visit. For children you can 'find the moles' which they enjoyed. I found it fascinating reading all about Mary queen of scots & seeing the artifacts. There is the option to pay for an audio tour if you want to, we only spent about 20-30 mins there which was enough to see everything.

We came down here as my girlfirend has an interest in this time and found it interesting and learnt a bit. I thought i had a good knowledge of this period but it was good learn new things and see how her time in Jedburgh was the tipping point and the start of it going down hill. The attraction is free but for 50p you can get an audio tour.
