Floors Castle

Kelso

Floors Castle was originally built for the 1st Duke of Roxburghe in 1721 and was first opened to the public in 1977. The Castle was designed by the Architect William Adam and is situated in the heart of the Scottish Borders, overlooking the Cheviot Hills and the River Tweed. It is the largest inhabited castle in Scotland and is home to the Duke and Duchess of Roxburghe.
The Castle is still very much a family home but opens to the public so that you can admire the fine art work, beautifully kept gardens and extensive parkland. Why not pay a visit to this regal residence?

The shop next door sells Castle produce and local arts and crafts – which are sure to pull at your purse strings. For those that enjoy the aromatic smells of home cooking, the Castle’s fine Restaurant awaits you and the Duke’s chef prepares wonderful light lunches and hot meals.
