Jedburgh Abbey

From some of the pics it may seem that all of the abbeys look the same, but that isn't the case. This is Jedburgh abbey, which we thought was the second most impressive of the string of four abbeys. It is set on a hill and has an imposing presence.



To give you a bit of perspective we put Kelli in this pic in front of one of the main walls to the cathedral portion.



As always, plenty of spiral staircases (they loved these things)!



Here is a model of what the original would have looked like. It was a pretty impressive compound, especially considering that there was four of these within a 55 mile trek.



This place even had a sewage system! You have to be impressed with that. These monks think of everything.
