Kelso

The market town of Kelso in the Scottish Borders, Scotland sits at the confluence of the River Tweed and the River Teviot, with a broad Georgian square, the atmospheric ruins of Kelso Abbey and the looming presence of nearby Floors Castle defining its riverside character; the Tweed also makes the area famous for classic salmon fishing.

Historically an agricultural and market centre, Kelso retains independent shops and cafes and a strong community life - from the Borders’ Common Riding traditions to race meetings at Kelso Racecourse - with tourism, equestrian pursuits and farming still important to the local economy and social scene.
