We took a taxi into Kelso to tour Floors Castle, home of the Dukes of Roxborough
Interior courtyard of the castle
View out to the surrounding countryside
Another interior courtyard - this one with the tearoom
where you can get the official cappuccino
May Kuba can build one of these for Jacob?
Part of the naturalized castle garden
The walled garden, with roses trained up poles and along chains
Heather in front of some of the glasshouses
Fruit trees and the head gardener's house
Apple trees
Wisteria growing up the side of the head gardener's house
Horse trials at Floors Castle this weekend
The ruins of Kelso Abbey
Maquettes for the statues of the kelpies - the originals are about 100' high, located in Falkirk. The maquettes are touring and were in Kelso for the weekend
