WELCOME TO

The Gem of the Scottish Borders

Welcome to Floors Castle

From the 22nd of September 2025, Floors Castle, the Grounds, Courtyard Café and Castle Gift Shop will be closed to the public for the Winter season, however our beautiful Walled Garden, Apple Shed and Terrace Café will still remain open 7 days a week. The Castle and Grounds will reopen to the public in Spring 2026. ** Please note from the 22nd of September 2025 the the main gates to the Estate on Roxburgh Street will remain closed until Spring 2026. All access to the Estate is via the Terrace Café and Gardens entrance on the B6397 only.

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.

A Guide to Pruning
This class will be a combination of theory and practical demonstrations. Simon will demonstrate how climbing plants and wall shrubs such as Wisteria, Clematis and Hydrangea petiolaris are cared for and will demonstrate how the rambling and climbing Roses here at Floors are pruned and maintained to achieve the swag effect on chains. We will also show you how we care for our Peaches, Vines and espaliered Plum Trees as well as the different pruning and training techniques utilised for our Apple Trees in the Millennium Parterre.

We had a gorgeous day for our visit and we spent hours here. The gardens are beautiful, with lots to see and plenty of places to sit and reflect. The house was fascinating. The guides were so friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. There are 2 cafes and a gift shop too, as well as kids play areas. Really good value for money.

Lovely grounds but the highlight is the Terrace Cafe. We booked afternoon tea for 4 during a getaway and it surpassed our expectations. Delicious cakes and plenty of tasty sandwiches. Friendly and helpful service. Would definitely return!
