The imposing castle structure of Jedburgh jail hides the harshness of 1820s prison laying deep in the bowels of the thick castle wall. The Victorian Jedburgh Castle Jail housed men, women and children and was mostly used as a debtors jail. It was a harsh prison and conditions were bleak and much cruelty took place within the jail. There were executions at Jedburgh Castle Jail where criminals were hung on the gallows. This included Thomas Wilson who was executed after being found guilty for the murder of a young shepherd at St Boswells Fair. It was later discovered Thomas Wilson was innocent - perhaps he is one of the ghosts who walk the earth to prove his innocence. The echoes of those guilty and innocent still linger within these walls still pleading for their fate will we come across the ghostly Piper forever stuck at his watchpoint for eternity over the Scottish countryside or the spirit of a angry inmate who terrorises visitors with his throwing of stones and slamming of doors one question remains - do you dare??
