The Gem of the Scottish Borders

Welcome to Floors Castle, the centrepiece of the beautiful Roxburghe Estate since it was constructed for my ancestor, the 1st Duke of Roxburghe, over 300 years ago.

The castle continues to be a beloved home to my family and I, and it is possible for visitors to see the evolution of Floors through the changes made by successive generations to the castle and gardens. Last year’s 300th Anniversary exhibition remains on display in the castle, and there are a host of exciting events and activities planned for what we all hope will be a busy and enjoyable year.

Just a short walk from the castle, you will find the spectacular Victorian Walled Gardens with glasshouses, herbaceous borders and a formal Millennium Garden. There are also waymarked woodland and riverside walks to explore, along with a cycle trail suitable for the whole family, Floors has so much to discover.

The Terrace and Courtyard Cafés are ideal places for a takeaway snack to enjoy in the grounds, or something more substantial, like an afternoon tea. From the Apple Shed, food produced in the castle kitchens can be taken home to enjoy, alongside homeware and gifts.

Myself and the whole Floors Castle family warmly welcome you to the estate and we look forward to seeing you soon.
