点评:Jedburgh Castle Jail is a fascinating place to explore — part museum, part time capsule, and full of stories from Scotland’s darker past. The building looks like a castle from the outside, but inside you’ll find the preserved Victorian prison, with original cells, displays, and eerie sound effects that bring its history to life.
It’s surprisingly family-friendly, with clear information panels and just the right mix of spooky and educational. From the top floor, you also get fantastic views over Jedburgh and the surrounding Borders countryside.
My son particularly enjoyed the hands-on areas of the jail and museum: dressing as a prisoner, getting cuffed in the jail cells and running around the exercise yard.
Well worth a visit if you love history, atmosphere, and a touch of the macabre.
And guess what - entry is free! (Donations are encouraged).
翻译:杰德堡城堡监狱是一个引人入胜的探索之地——它既是博物馆,又是时间胶囊,充满了苏格兰黑暗历史的故事。从外观上看,这座建筑宛如一座城堡,但内部却保留着维多利亚时代的监狱风貌,保留着原始的牢房、展览和令人毛骨悚然的音效,将历史重现。
它出奇地适合家庭参观,清晰的信息面板将恐怖与教育完美融合。从顶层,您还可以欣赏杰德堡和周边边境乡村的壮丽景色。
我儿子特别喜欢监狱和博物馆的体验区:可以装扮成囚犯,在牢房里被铐起来,在操场上跑来跑去。
如果您热爱历史、氛围和惊悚元素,这里绝对值得一游。
而且,免费入场!(鼓励捐款)。
