Nearby was the house where Robert Burns lodged during his visit in 1787, when he was made a Freeman of the Royal Burgh. Recorded plaque organisation: Royal Burgh of Jedburgh.
The Royal Hotel, originally named Mr Douglas's Inn and later the Harrow, gained royal significance when Queen Victoria visited Jedburgh in 1867, renaming it for her stay; nearby stood the house where Robert Burns lodged during his 1787 visit, becoming a Freeman of the Royal Burgh.
