About Turret House: Superb self-catering accommodation for 2 to 6 people, situated in the beautiful old market town of Kelso in the Scottish Borders, just 1 hour's drive from Edinburgh. The Turret House, reputedly the oldest house in Kelso, can trace its history back to 1678 when John Palmer, a Tweed River boatman celebrated his marriage by carving his initials into the lintel above what was then the front door. Since then the Turret House has seen many changes, including the addition of the circular stone stairway from which it gets its name. Spacious, comfortable, full of charm and period features and centrally heated throughout, the Turret House is a perfect base for your stay in the undiscovered Scottish Borders.
