Andrew Carnegie and Jedburgh Public Library blue plaque

Jedburgh, Scottish Borders, Scotland, United Kingdom

Jedburgh Public Library. Andrew Carnegie, the Scottish-American philanthropist, founded a library in the High Street in 1884. This quickly became too small and Carnegie paid for a larger replacement here in the Castlegate. He attended the opening in 1900. His motto, Let there be light, is carved int

o the stonework. This was the site of the Nag's Head Inn.
