SKERRYVORE XX

We are absolutely thrilled to host Skerryvore XX here at Floors Castle on Saturday 31^st May 2025 where they will celebrate two decades at the forefront of Scotland’s music scene. Bringing their contemporary Scottish sound, which fuses folk, trad, pop and rock influences, for a landmark outdoor performance that fittingly reflects their glittering career to date.

We expect to welcome more than 5,000 party goers, with event buses running direct to Skerryvore XX from major hubs including Edinburgh, Newcastle, Berwick, Hawick and Galashiels. The nearby Borders Event Centre will have space for up to 300 campervans for those looking to spend the night in Kelso, and day and overnight parking will be available at the Castle.

Lead singer of Skerryvore, Alec Dalglish said: “Floors Castle feels like the perfect setting for Skerryvore XX and will make for such a memorable backdrop. We’ve played some incredible stages and events over the years but to hold our biggest ever concert on home turf is going to be a landmark moment. We’re planning to invite a few special guests to join us across the night and are looking forward to welcoming fans from near and far to the Scottish Borders in May to mark two decades together. This is going to be the biggest and best show ever for you all, so we’re delighted that we are able to welcome you all to Floors Castle, truly one of the best locations for a great big party!”
