Queen Mary's House, Jedburgh (6)
After what, based on this old picture, must have been a chequered period in its history (the roof appears to be thatched), Queen Mary's House is these days a well maintained museum, devoted to Queen Mary herself. It opened in 1987, the 400th anniversary of her disgraceful execution in England. It contains an assortment of memorabilia including jewellery, belongings, documents and paintings, as well as a watch which Mary lost in a bog during that epic ride back from Hermitage Castle, which was found again by a shepherd 250 years later in a mole hill!
