    Jedburgh Abbey was founded in 1138 and was one of the four Border Abbeys founded by King David I around the same time, the others are Dryburgh, Kelso and Melrose. The lead and other parts including their roofs were stolen long ago to provide materials for secular buildings and all four survive as ruins, although conservation work is carried out by Historic Scotland as witnessed by the scaffolding. Jedburgh Abbey has in recent years become a popular venue for open air weddings.

    Love the pictures of Jedburgh Abbey. Of course I am fond of the architecture that has been around for awhile.

I'm still confused.....that part of the structure looks like a grand outdoor hallway of sorts. :confused:
    Here is a potted history of Jedburgh Abbey.

    There are ruins of abbeys, churches and castles all over the United Kingdom, but Jedburgh is one of the most spectacular. Most are in the care of charitable trusts such as The National Trust in England and The National Trust for Scotland.
