About Kelso...
Kelso, also known in local Scots as "Kelsae" or in Scottish Gealic as "Cealsaidh" is situated on the banks of the River Tweed at its junction with the Teviot, Kelso is an ideal place to use as a base for exploring the Borders, the Berwickshire Coast and North Northumberland. Described by Sir Walter Scott as 'The most beautiful if not the most romantic village in Scotland', it has kept that atmosphere which he loved. With a population, today, of just over 6,000, it is large enough to have everything, but not too large to overwhelm. Protected to the north by the Lammermuir Hills and the Cheviots to the south, it lies in one of the most fertile valleys in the country. Being within ten miles of the English border, past history dealt the town a very hard time during the Border Wars of the thirteenth to sixteenth centuries. |
