East Broomlands The Locality
A CHARMING TOWN THAT STIRS YOUR SOUL

The small market town of Kelso is the jewel in the crown of the Scottish Borders situated at the confluence of the world famous River Tweed and the lesser-known, but no less sublime River Teviot.

A notable feature of the town is the cobbled market square dominated by the town hall with architecture influenced by the French style. The impressive five-arch Kelso bridge, constructed by John Rennie in the eighteenth century, became the model for Waterloo Bridge in London, which was demolished and rebuilt in the USA in 1934.

Floors Castle which is the largest inhabited mansion in Scotland and is home to the Duke of Roxburghe and his family, lies to the north of Kelso.

"Kelso must be the most beautiful, if not the most romantic, town in Scotland" - Sir Walter Scott
