What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Jedburgh, Blaikup Stone as Inscribed Stone (period Unknown). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Likely dating to the early medieval period, the Blaikup Stone may have functioned as a boundary marker or commemorative monument. Inscribed stones of this type in Scotland often carry Pictish symbols or ogham, suggesting connections to early Celtic or Pictish traditions, though the stone's specific meaning or folklore remains unrecorded.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
