Jedburgh Abbey Ground Floor

Jedburgh Abbey, a ruined Augustinian abbey which was founded in the 12th century, is situated in the town of Jedburgh, in the Scottish Borders.
The foundation appeared to have the status of 'priory' in the early years and a man by the name of Daniel was described as the Prior of Geddwrda in 1139. The church was later raised to the status of monastery before becoming, in the years prior to King David's death in 1153, a fully fledged abbey dedicated to the Virgin Mary, probably in 1147.

Amelia replied to polytropos:

I was born and brought up in Scotland until I was 13 and in my mind it was sunny every day. ;-)

A fabulous shot and a really lovely series of images. We went into Jedburgh for a short break in our journey once but never visited the abbey unfortunately. I love the light and shade in this image
