Bâtiment historique du 16ème siècle

Le Centre des visiteurs de Marie Stuart, reine d'Écosse, à Jedburgh, en Écosse, est situé dans un bâtiment historique du 16ème siècle, construit comme une maison-tour.

A fabulous museum, thoughtfully curated with a fantastic audio tour. The quality of the displays, including excellent replica furniture by a local craftsman and replica tapestries. The museum exhibition comprehensively covers Mary's life, more concentrated info than anywhere else. The audio tour and information panels are thoughtfully designed to complement each other and guide you through the rooms through an interesting and thought-provoking narrative. The jewel in the crown is the poignant display in the final rooms of Mary's execution, and a beautiful glass and steel sculpture. The beautiful grounds are meticulously kept by local volunteers and offer a green haven for reflection following your visit - including famous Jeddart pears growing! The colleague at the desk was incredibly knowledgeable and really brought the place to life with excellent additional information about Mary, the exhibition, and other places to visit in Jedburgh.

Extremely interesting and intriguing museum/visitor centre situated in the Scottish Borders town of Jedburgh. As the name suggests it is dedicated to Mary Queens of Scots detailing the history of her life from life to to death in a very informative manner. The visitor centre houses the exhibition over 3 floors and it tells the story of Mary Queen of Scots in chronological order and some of the keys events that led to her being queen and also keys events leading up to her death. The exhibition over the three floors is laid out in a very easy to understand way and also the chronological order of the exhibition keeps you intrigued and focused on the story of Mary Queen of Scots as you go round. There are also some interesting artefacts to see such as The Portrait Miniature, Mary Queen of Scots Death Mask and also some tapestries which are in excellent condition and decently presented. Admission into the place is also free with donations welcome and this is a very welcome addition. There is a small gift shop at the place selling a decent range of gifts at affordable prices. Overall this is a marvellous and magnificent attraction to visit and makes for an interesting and intriguing day out. Definitely worth a visit whilst visiting Jedburgh.

We visited on a Saturday afternoon , it was quiet and we had plenty of time to go through each room. The steps are quite steep inside. There is a gift shop on the ground level with a lovely selection of items. The garden area is well maintained with seats to relax and admire the views.

I rate this as 1st class for those who are fascinated by Mary Queen of Scots . So much to see. Would have loved to explore the gardens but the heavens opened up which was a pity. Nevertheless it's definitely worth a visit Not accessible for everyone as many steep steps

Mary queen of Scots didn't actually live here. Just one of her many places she visited and stayed for awhile. However it has historical artifacts and facts about here life which if you're new to her terbulant life would be very interesting.
