History
Mary Queen of Scots house is situated in the market town of Jedburgh, just 10 miles south of the English/Scottish border. Built in a garden of pear trees, and only a short walk from the 12th century abbey, this is a very atmospheric building.
The young queen arrived at Jedbugh during the summer of 1566 in order to preside over the local courts; to which end a house (the venue for this event) was placed at her disposal. It was during her short stay here that Mary recovered from a fever that nearly took her life, but Mary’s time at Jedburgh was far from trouble free, indeed it was actually to sound her death knell, for within weeks of her arrival Mary was taken captive by the then Queen of England… Elizabeth 1st.
Queen Mary’s house was opened to the public on the 400th anniversary of her death. Among the unique collection held within the house is a lock of her hair and a death mask, all of which give an insight into the life of a very charming and spiritual lady.
Ghosts?
With reports of strange smells, the sound of clothing rustling, the eerie feeling of being watched by unseen eyes, and some intense levels of phenomena causing people to flee the house, dare you join with Shadows of the Night as we enter the Queen of Scots house to seek out who is making their ghostly presence known.
"My heart keeps watch for one who's gone"
