Kelso, lying at the meeting point of the Tweed and Teviot rivers is one of the most beautiful settlements of the boarders. Its cobbled stone streets and squares are flank by houses from the age of Victoria and George. Except for the horse races in Ire, the horse races in Kelso are the best known in the country. The Abbey of Kelso was the oldest, biggest and riches in all of Scotland. Is foundation is connected to David I, 10 years before Jedburgh. It took 84 years to build it but it was destroyed much faster by English troupes. In 1545, even the monks were slaughtered. It could never regain its power and today it’s in the worst condition among the abbeys of the borders. The Tweed River is a favorite place for summon and trap fishing. Many people come here from abroad to enjoy this hobby. About Flores Castle even Walter Scott said “It seems rather the fairy palace of over on—in A Midsummer Night’s Dream by Shakespeare than a house of an earthly person”. The main supporter of Anglo-Scottish union, the Earl of Roxburgh commissioned William Adam the greatest architect of the era to reconstruct and expand the former fortress. Nothing can be seen from the great architect work today. In 1849, William play fair almost totally reconstructed the building. Its small domes, towers and helmets were added at that time. The castle itself lies on a natural ground terrace at the bottom of the mountain. While the estate belonging to it is located in the valley of the River Tweed, thanks to Roxburgh grandson’s marriage into a rich family the castle is so full of art treasures that the inventory broke is likely to be thicker than the telephone directory in Edinburgh. Especially the collection of tapestries is famous.
