We went for a day's trip to
Kelso, it is not too far from Edinburgh. It is a lovely town
nestling on the River Tweed, my young son was delighted as he
was able to buy a fishing permit for £2.50. The town has many
individual shops of every description, an ruined abbey and it
is close to Floors Castle being only half a mile away. The car
park as we entered the town was very cheap twenty pence for an
hour but if you go into the town square you can only park for
one hour and not return within two hours so it is better to
use the pay one. It has beautiful churches with large spires
and it is so picturesque. We went to the Cross Keys Inn
situated in the square and high tea from 5p.m. till 7p.m. was
very nice and priced fairly. The food was very fresh. I would
certainly recommend a day's trip here.
