We had the pleasure of attending the official unveiling, by The Duke of Roxburghe, of the NEW Kelso Abbey Community Orchard Stone this afternoon.

The carving sits prominently at the front of the Abbey Community Orchard, down by Mayfield Riverside walk.

We’ve only shared our photo of the front of the stone because we think it’s definitely worth seeing it for yourself!! It’s a beautiful addition to Kelso.

We’ll share the official press release with you as soon as we receive it, with all the details of the stone carver and all the people and funding involved in bringing this together.
