KELSO AREA
VISITORS GUIDE

A Great Lifestyle Location

 

The medieval burgh of Kelso is a picturesque Borders town with architectural and historical attractions that draw visitors from far and wide and enhance the quality of life for local townspeople. Situated in a scenic fertile valley between the Lammermuir Hills and the Cheviots, the town is only a few miles from the English border – an asset nowadays although history tells a different story.

Modern Kelso has all the essentials that make a great lifestyle location – good schools, shops, restaurants, hotels, sports and leisure facilities – and a local property market that spans everything from modern flats and luxury apartments, to traditional flats and conversions, terraced houses, picturesque rural cottages, large stone-built period properties and one-off custom built homes.

The rural property market in this part of the region is boosted by demand from both north and south of the border. It helps that Kelso and Jedburgh are still within commuting distance of Edinburgh via the A68 and city bypass – and will be even better placed when the Waverly rail line between Edinburgh Waverly station and Tweedbank is reinstated.
