What is recorded here

Jedburgh, 9 Castlegate is a 17th-century tenement in the Scottish Borders, old enough to predate every fashionable idea about comfort. Its stones may have held charcoal smoke, child cries and quiet prayers before they held tourists. The house does not need a legend because it is a legend in the shape of a building. What is missing is not fact but imagination, and imagination belongs to everyone.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Jedburgh, 9 Castlegate, Prince Charlie's House as Tenement (17th Century). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Prince Charlie's House in Jedburgh, 9 Castlegate, is associated with Charles Edward Stuart (Bonnie Prince Charlie) during his 1745 Jacobite uprising, though its construction as a tenement dates to the 17th century. It is remembered for its historical link to the Jacobite movement and as a site of local historical interest in Scottish history.
