Jedburgh is a traditional Market Town to the southern fringe of the Scottish Borders close to Jed Water, a tributary of the River Teviot approximately ten miles north of the Anglo-Scottish Border at Carter Bar.

The Ward (Jedburgh and District) has a population of approximately 9,340 according to the 2021 Mid-Year Population Estimate compiled by the National Records of Scotland, broadly the same as that recorded at the 2011 Population Census (9,320).

Jedburgh’s historic setting attracts a significant influx of seasonal visitors. The Conservation Area covers much of the historic core including the Abbey and Castle Gaol. The Abbey was founded by David I in 1138 and was destroyed on the orders of Henry VIII of England. It is the most complete surviving Abbey in the Borders despite having been burned ‘nine times’. The Castle Gaol is situated at the highest point in the Town, built on the site of a medieval castle. It was once reputed to be the most important strong hold in the Scottish Borders.

It is a thriving Town, the centre offers a broad mix of independent shops, restaurants and businesses. Leisure and sporting facilities include a multi-use games area, 2G hockey pitch, 3G sports pitch, 100m synthetic running track, 300m grass track, bowling green gym, swimming pool and a wide range of sporting clubs such as rugby, football and golf.

The Town benefits from good road links to the principal Border Towns as well as the National Roads Network via the A68 Trunk Road. Newcastle Airport is approximately fifty-two miles south. Edinburgh Airport is around fifty-five miles north. The Borders Railway provides direct access to Edinburgh from Galashiels and Tweedbank.
