Police Check Jedburgh Woodland Camp as Tensions Rise Between ‘Kingdom of Kubala’ and Residents

Local officials urge restraint, promising removal only through legal process.

Overview

  • Videos shared by the group show confrontations at the Jedburgh site, with claims of rocks and bricks thrown, racial slurs shouted, and attempts to pull down a tent.
  • Police Scotland visited the encampment for welfare checks, asking whether anyone had been hurt or if property had been damaged.
  • Jedburgh councillor Scott Hamilton condemned threats and vigilantism, saying any departure will be handled lawfully after the group moved from council land to a privately owned area.
  • Scottish Borders Council says it is working with Police Scotland and has provided information on housing options and support services.
  • The trio’s leaders previously spent months on remand over child‑neglect allegations before prosecutors dropped the case, and the American handmaiden, identified as Kaura Taylor, is reported to have a child now in UK authorities’ care.
