FLOORS CASTLE
Floors Castle is Scotland's largest inhabited castle. It is within easy walking distance from the centre of Kelso. In fact, the last house in the town is just yards away from the impressive gate that was the main entrance for the world meeting.
The camping ground was very large, flat and well-drained and there were also extra overflow fields available, although they weren't needed.
Camping was on the banks of the River Tweed, just opposite the ruins of what was once the capital of Scotland.
Floors Castle is set on raised ground overlooking the camping ground and made an impressive backdrop for the meeting. It has a large restaurant and also a partially-covered mews which housed the permanent museum. |
