The Gem of the Scottish Borders

From the 1st October, Floors Castle, the Grounds, Courtyard Cafe and Castle Gift Shop will be closed to the public for the winter season, however our beautiful Walled Garden, Apple Shed and Terrace Cafe will still remain open 7 days a week from 10:30am – 4pm. The Castle and Grounds will reopen to the public in Spring 2025. 

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. Our 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 perfect places for a leisurely lunch, or to treat yourself to an afternoon tea. From the Apple Shed adjacent to the Gardens, 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.
