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.
Floors Castle is located north-west of Kelso, off the A6089. 25 miles south-west of Berwick-upon-Tweed, on the B6461-A6089.
