    A truly magnificent castle, and a Category A listed building. It is the home of the Duke of Roxburghe, and, apparently, the largest inhabited castle in Scotland. It was built for the 1st Duke in 1721-26 by William Adam, on the site of a previously existing house (House of Floris), and then extensively redone by W H Playfair in 1837-47 from the Georgian original to the way it is looking now.



    This is an unmissable place. It is open to tourists. Please see the Castle's website for more information and tickets: floorscastle.com
