Floors Castle in 1880.

Floors Castle in Kelso, Scotland is the seat of the Duke of Roxburghe. Despite its name it is a country house, rather than a fortress. It has the common 18th century layout of main block and two symmetrical service wings. It was built in around 1721 by William Adam for the 1st Duke, incorporating an earlier tower house. In the 19th century it was embellished with turrets and battlements by William Playfair for the 6th Duke. It is now open to the public.
