Jedburgh Abbey
Another version of the beautiful West doorway
There was a royal palace at Jedburgh, and the abbot was a frequent advisor to Scottish rulers. Alexander III married Yolande de Dreux at the abbey church in 1285. According to a rather convenient legend, a spectral figure appeared at the wedding and prophecied the king's imminent death. Sure enough, Alexander suffered a fatal fall from his horse the following year. The coronation of Malcom IV also took place here.
