The Gem of the Scottish Borders

We welcome visitors from near and far to come and enjoy this inspiring Castle and its surroundings. From our spectacular Victorian Walled Garden with glasshouses, herbaceous borders and a formal Millennium Garden, to woodland and riverside walks and a delightful cycle trail, there is so much to discover. Families are always welcome, and kids go free, so come and join us for a great day out. New for this season! Each Castle, Gardens & Grounds Day Ticket purchased is valid for seven days from the date of admission. This means that visitors can enjoy all that Floors has to offer as many times as they like during that period, so if the Scottish weather scuppers your plans to enjoy the gardens or a walk around the estate, you can always try again on a better day.

The Gardens at Floors Castle combine one of the finest Victorian Kitchen Gardens in a spectacular Walled Garden with a formal Millennium Garden which features a French-style parterre and a charming summer house known as “Queen’s House” after Queen Victoria visited for tea here in 1867. The 4 acre Walled Garden is a unique showpiece of seasonal colour and interest. Enjoy the frenzy of colour in the breath-taking herbaceous borders, explore the glasshouses bursting with soft fruit and exotic blooms. Discover a multitude of wonderful cut flowers, herbs, fruit and vegetables are grown within the ancient walls making our garden as beautiful as it is productive. The wider Estate Grounds are ideal for walking, cycling, picnicking and enjoying the beautiful countryside of the Scottish Borders, the perfect way to work off your Terrace Café Lunch! We are dog friendly! Dogs on leads are very welcome throughout the Grounds, Gardens and both our Giftshops (no dogs inside the Castle please). There is outdoor seating and water points at the Terrace Café and dogs are welcome inside our Courtyard Café so they needn’t be shut in the car. 🏰 Each Gardens & Grounds Day Ticket purchased is valid for seven days from the date of admission.
