Kelso Bridge

John Rennie of Haddington built this bridge that opened to the public in 1803. The bridge remained a toll bridge until 1857. Rennie later built a bridge in London called the Waterloo Bridge. When the Waterloo Bridge was removed two standard lamps from the bridge were given to Kelso, they to this day remain at the end of the Kelso Bridge.

Kelso Abbey

Kelso Abbey was built in the year 1128, although building work continued to expand the Abbey over many years. The Abbey has a very rich history including the Scottish Kings James III and James IV both being crowned there.

Where the Rivers Tweed and Teviot Meet

Overlooked by Kelso the River Teviot meets the River Tweed giving Kelso one of the best fishing spots in the world. The two rivers have a variety of fishing spots containing Salmon, Brown Trout and Grayling. Whether you are after a good chance of a catch or just the peace and tranquility of the river, Kelso is ideal for fishing or as a base to explore these two rivers.

FLOORS CASTLE

Floors Castle, overlooking Kelso, is the stately home of the 10th Duke of Roxburgh. It was originally built in 1721. As well as the Castle and its Grounds there is a restaurant, gift shop and garden centre.
