The Scott Centenary: Jedburgh Abbey, 1871. 'Jedburgh Abbey owed its architectural magnificence to the patronage of the Scottish King David I., who reigned in the twelfth century, spending huge sums of money on ecclesiastical buildings...But the foundation of Jedburgh is more ancient, by two or three centuries, than those of Dryburgh and Melrose, for St. Kenoch was Abbot of Jedburgh in the year 1000...The Abbey was a good deal knocked about in the wars with the invading English, led by Edward I. and Edward III., and again by the Earl of Surrey's army in the time of Henry VIII. Its walls were battered with artillery, the marks of which still remain. The monks, a canonical society of the Augustinian order, were driven out before the Reformation, when the lands of the Abbey were bestowed on Sir Andrew Ker, of Ferniehirst, created Lord Jedburgh, from whom they have descended to the Marquis of Lothian. The ruins are one of the finest specimens of the Saxon and Early Gothic architecture in Scotland: they consist of the nave, a great part of the choir, the south aisle, the centre tower, and the north transept, which last-named portion is the family burial-place of the Marquis of Lothian. The west end has been fitted up for use as a parish church'. From "Illustrated London News", 1871.
