Royal TAPESTRY
A jewel in the Scottish borders, Floors Castle was built by the first Duke of Roxburghe in 1721 as a Georgian country house, with views over the river Tweed towards the Cheviot Hills beyond. Between 1837 and 1847, the castle was transformed by the architect William Playfair into the romantic, turreted design that still stands amid the idyllic wooded parkland of the vast Roxburghe Estate. Now the family home of the 10th Duke of Roxburghe, and the largest inhabited castle in Scotland, it is also well known for its spectacular four-acre walled garden, which lies to the west and is completely hidden from view by tall trees.
Built in 1865, the walled garden still plays an important traditional role in the day-to-day life
