Floors Castle
NT 711-346 Roxburghshire Scotland

Floors Castle Floors Castle is the largest inhabited house in Scotland, with a towered central block and symmetrical, Georgian ranges. In 1721 additions were made to an existing tower house to create a plain country house, which was then absorbed in the construction of a magnificent 19th century baronial mansion. In the grounds is a holly tree, which marks the spot where King James II was killed by an exploding cannon, while besieging Roxburgh Castle. 5 miles west is Smailholm Tower and 8 miles north-east is Wark Castle.
