One feature of the region are its 4 abbeys that once had greater relevance in the country's history. One of them is Jedburgh abbey, founded in the XII century by one of the most important monarchs in Scottish history, David I, in conjunction with Bishop John of Glasgow, it was given the name St. Mary of Jedburgh, near the river Jed.
