Plenty of parking spaces.

We do not serve refreshments. Plenty of cafes in Jedburgh just 5 minutes away from the castle.

Cash only for entry and souvenirs, books, guides etc.

I can sometimes arrange a visit for members of the Kerr Clan outwith July. This will depend on whether the castle is occupied or a function has been arranged. I would need to know an exact date when you plan to be in Jedburgh and I will do my best to accommodate you. We have to open the castle especially for our visitors and provide staff, for this reason we do make a charge of £15 per person

Don't miss our annual Jedburgh Pageant featuring the Callant and his attendants dressed in their finery to celebrate the Reivers of old and the Border boundaries of the Jedhart Clans with Ferniehirst Castle rideout the highlight of the weeks celebrations

The Jedhart Callant's ride to Ferniehirst will be held on the second Friday in July each year. (arriving at Ferniehirst Castle 9.50 am approx / Leaving Ferniehirst 10.25 am)

Ferniehirst Castle is at the very heart of your Clan heritage. You can book a short stay at the castle or choose the enchanting and exclusive Lothian Wing or the cosy Log Lodge set in the beautiful, peaceful castle grounds. How to book your exclusive Kerr holiday can be found at
