The Bulletin  

‘The Bulletin,” Vol. 72-No. 3736  

Wednesday, September 19, 1951  

Price 9d.  

Registered at the General Post Office, Sydney, N.S.W., Australia, for Transmission by Post as Newspaper.  

Seppelts  

Times Finger Has Etched  

its Mark on  

Jedburgh’s Sturdy Walls  

IT is now long since the Border Country heard  

the clash of arms and the shout of clansmen  

as the English and Scots fought it out back and  

forth across each other’s borders. As result  

of these remorseless struggles, however, there  

stand today the ruins of the magnificent abbeys  

of Jedburgh, Dryburgh and Melrose, around  

which were fought those battles of long ago.  

Jedburgh, the county town of Roxburghshire,  

is situated in the valley of the Jed, forty-eight  

miles from Edinburgh, and is famed for the  

noble ruins of its abbey and other relics of its  

historic past. In the ninth century town  

existed at Jedburgh which grew up around  

stronghold-—in those turbulent days no com-  

munity was rash enough to establish itself  

without the protecting shield of castle. Before  

the end of the eleventh century there existed at  

Jedburgh castle of formidable strength, which  

was used at frequent intervals by Scottish kings  

as royal residence. There, in 1165, d*  

Malcolm the Maiden, and from there many  

charters were issued by David (1124-1153),  

by William the Lion (1165-1214) and by  

Alexander II (1214-1249). Because o' its  

strength Jedburgh was constant bone of con-  

tention, and the town was taken and retaken  

by forces of the two nations. Ultimately,  

1409, the Scots themselves destroyed the castre,  

for they resolved that ii they could not hold it  

permanently neither would the invading armies.  

The Abbey stands upon site which was  

originally occupied by church founded in the  

ninth century by tire Bishop of Lindisfarne, who  

died in a.d. 845. This was succeeded by  

priory founded in 1118 by David I, and by the  

year 1147 it had become an Abbey. There, in  

1285, was married Alexander 111 to daughter  

of the Count of Dreux. During the stormy  

days of the thirteenth century Jedburgh Abbey  

was sacked, partially destroyed and the lo ad  

stripped from its roof>. In 1523 it was o. a-  

barded by the invading forces of the Earl of  

Surrey, and in 1544 it was again sacked by  

raiders under the Earl of Hertford. Built of  

red sandstone, the massiveness of its walls  

preserved the Abbey from total destruction, and  

it exists today as fine example of Early  

English and Norman styles of architecture.
