Location
The Rutherford Estate lies just off the A699, set between the popular town of Kelso and St Boswells; positioned just 4 miles from St Boswells and 6 miles from Kelso. The area is surrounded in glorious working countryside, with farmland, trails and the River Tweed. Kelso, which lies at the meeting point of the Tweed and Teviot rivers, is one of the most attractive and unspoiled towns in the Borders. Notable features are the 12th Century Abbey, the Flemish style cobbled square, Floors Castle and the old bridge across the Tweed. The town has good educational and sporting facilities and many high quality shops. The area has much to offer those interested in country pursuits with Tweed fishing, National Hunt racing and walking in the nearby Cheviot Hills.
