| "Kelso
must be the most beautiful, if not the most romantic,
town in Scotland." |
|
|
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.

course.
Two beautiful eighteen-hole golf courses including
the championship Roxburghe Golf Course are a short drive
from the development.
There is excellent salmon and coarse fishing on the
River Tweed, Europe's top salmon fishing river. |
