Kelso Abbey, Kelso submitted by Glen

Description and Information taken from the Scottish Towns Website


The greatest of all architectural attractions of this area are the ruined remains of Kelso Abbey. Long believed to be a relatively small abbey, it is now (due to a description found in the Vatican Library) widely held to have been a massive structure and most likely the largest of all the Border abbeys. Founded by King David I in 1128 it stood for over 400 years before it was destroyed in 1545. Kelso Abbey was unique in Scotland because of its many Norman architectural features.
