Sightseeing
Floors Castle was designed by leading Edinburgh architect William Adam for the 1st Duke of Roxburghe in 1721. Built on the site of an existing building called the House of Floris, Floors was originally a plain but symmetrical Georgian country house.
The 6th Duke invited leading architect, William Playfair to remodel the Castle between 1837 and 1847. Floors was Playfair’s most important private commission and he was determined to create a fairytale castle. The result, the building seen today, was as dramatic and as romantic as anything he could have hoped for.

Parks & Nature
Millions of years ago, lava cooled to form the distinctive rounded Cheviot Hills, which are full of hidden delights. Check out the dramatic waterfall of Linhope Spout or tucked-away ponds of Wooler Common. And which hardy walker could resist the lure of The Cheviot, Northumberland’s highest point?
Prehistory is at hand at Yeavering Bell. The routes of ancient cattle drovers are now bridleways for mountain bikers and horse riders. Or you can follow tradition and head for a picnic and a paddle in the Breamish Valley or romantically-named Harthope Valley. If you’re lucky, you’ll see otters in the shallow rivers while you tuck into lunch on the riverbank.

Arts & Culture
The grande dame of Edinburgh's museums only recently reopened after a three-year, £47m refurbishment, with 16 new galleries and 8,000 objects, 80% of which are being viewed for the first time. The stuffed animals are now out from behind glass and posed with video backdrops. Dolly the sheep is here, as is a 12m cast of a T-rex skeleton and the jawbone of a sperm whale. The new displays are more interactive, covering science, technology, transport and world cultures, and at the adjoining museum on the history of Scotland, you can see jewellery commissioned by Mary Queen of Scots and listen to the chuff and whistle of a 1923 Corliss steam engine that once powered a weaving mill.

Shopping
A wonderful place to shop; the town of Kelso and its surrounding district is brought to life with a sense of community spirit based around work, home, school, sport, charity, church and local celebrations. There is something for everyone, a lovely market square of shops and a farmers market last Saturday of every month.
