It has a glorious setting, nestling in the Cheviots, with the River Tweed sweeping round the backs of pretty Georgian cottages and the unusual octagonal parish church. The 18th century cobbled square and handsome townhouses give Kelso the elegant air of a French market town. Today the cobbled square has a wonderful collection of shops...cashmere, finest tweeds, pottery, Honour Murray, Tweedside Tackle, Mitchells Butcher and Delicatessen, and a unique assortment of gift shops.
There are reminders of the towns magnificent medieval past in the ruins of its Romanesque Abbey, built for David I in 1128. It was one of the biggest abbeys in the area before it was razed to the ground in 1545 during Scotlands rough wooing by Henry VIII. Floors Castle is the largest inhabited castle in Scotland and you can wander through spectacular staterooms filled with priceless European paintings, tapestries and furnishings.

How to get there
From Kelso, head towards Ednam on the B6461, passing the racecourse on your left hand side and the Thomson monument on the hill to your right.
After 2 miles you will reach Ednam over an old stone bridge – straight away turn right past the bus shelter – it’s a very bad bend, be careful! Continue up the hill past the farm cottages on the left, followed by Cliftonhill farm on the right.
Plum Braes barn is signposted at the far end of the farm steading, on the right.
For Edmonston, keep going past the farm and up the hill – it is on the top of the hill on the right.
