In 1566, only a few weeks after the birth of her son, James, Queen Mary made a desperate dash to see James Hepburn, 4th. Earl of Bothwell after he had been severely wounded at Hermitage Castle. She made the trip to and from Hermitage in the same day but was pulled in to a bog on the return journey. The injured queen was brought to Jedburgh and rest in the old house which belonged to the Kerr family of Ferniehurst. She is thought to have returned to the Palace of Holyroodhouse the following day.
