History Of Mary Queen of Scots House

Mary Queen of Scots House is a small tower house in Jedburgh that serves as a museum. Located between the High Street and the Jed Water, it features a square tower on one side of a rectangular hall block. The museum has free admission and is open seasonally.

The house, believed to have been built in the 1540s by the Kerr family of Ferniehurst, was likely a response to the Rough Wooing, when English armies raided the borders to pressure Scots into a marriage alliance with Henry VIII's son. Following the destruction of the old castle in 1408, several fortified houses were built in the area, including this one.

While little is known about its history, the house is associated with the Kerrs due to its left-ascending turnpike staircases, which favored left-handed swordsmen. It is thought that Queen Mary leased the house in 1566 while traveling through the Borders to dispense justice and fell ill upon returning from Hermitage Castle.

The house has been altered multiple times, with some extensions likely built in the late 18th century, but these were soon demolished. In 1927, the town of Jedburgh acquired the house and transformed it into a museum dedicated to Queen Mary’s life.
