Hi, just come across your channel. I live in Kelso and am staggered just how many shops have changed hands in just one year. You really should come back at a better time of year when the sun is shining and everything is in bloom. Btw the Border hotel which was an eyesore, has been redecorated but is still to find a new owner.
My last name being Kelso, I've always wanted to visit Scotland to learn and study about my ancestors. Such a beautiful countryside in Scotland. I grew up in a small farm town in the state of Kansas, U.S. It's on my bucket list.
That was really lovely, thank you so much…😁🙋♀️ I’m Jedburgh born, now 76 years old + my last visit to Kelso was age 12, just before we moved down to Sussex. And I’d quite forgotten how pretty Kelso is. For all my 64 years in England, 🏴 even though I have little use for it…I can still speak + write in our Border Dialect!😁 Now I’m off on another one of your tours! 🙋♀️😅💕🏴
I was born in Kelso and left to travel and study. I’ve now spent 53 years away, but Kelso is still clear in my memory. ALL the businesses have changed except the banks and pubs/hotels. Thank you for the walk down memory lane.
Thanks for the great video. As a youngster, I remember my dad driving me from Gordon to Kelso to get haircuts at a barbershop near the town square around 1965-70. Haven't seen Kelso since 1970, but I'd like to go back and check it out. Awesome area for a kid to spend time growing up in.
I was there for 10 years up to 2000, it has changed frontages quite a bit. Never recalled the Border Hotel either!! Good to see the old corn exchange being used too. Great memories of wonderful folk in Kelso
Have never been to Kelso but my ancestors lived there. On the 1841 and 1851 censuses they lived in Woodmarket. I have often wondered what it was like so was really pleased to see your video. Thanks Gimball😀
I guess I'm weird too, because earlier in the video I said the same thing about the cars on the cobbled streets. I've never noticed it before and Scotland sure has many cobbled roads. These must be constructed differently? I like the town, it's not such a hustle and bustle one, which I prefer. Another thing that probably makes me weird, but I kept thinking the buildings reminded me of a town made from lego bricks. Odd I know. Love the Cross Keys Hotel with a window box in each window! Thanks for the new adventure for me! :)
I love watching local places to me to see if I know anyone!😂. This is my nearest town, going to check out your Berwick upon tweed one next. Such a shame the Borders Hotel in Kelso is in that state.
Kelso looks very nice and I loved the bells, so good NOT to hear the usual Westminster chimes !! I love hearing clocks strike, and I also like the tyres on cobbles sound !! You had the level of music perfect - yet still able to hear the normal street sounds too - well done on that. Why do ruins always look so eerie ?? loved the fact that it said "open all year" but it was closed 🙂😁 The DPD van was not there when you arrived at the square - it must have heard you calling !! Thsnks for the trip, keep em coming 👍💯🤩

Often come to Kelso as my son stays in the Borders and it is a favourite place to viait

I'm was originally from Oxnam so Kelso is like my home. Left 50 years ago but come back often. Still miss the Borders.
It's a lovely place isnt it!
Very nice and peaceful city
Thank you for a lovely visit.
Our pleasure!
The weather is rainy outside so I can spend a good time walking together with you along the streets of Kelso. Thank you for the good company!
Thank you for joining me!
Hope the rain stops soon tho!
Thank you for the walk around my home town. Very enjoyable... Next time you could go around the parks and walks.

Truly is a beautiful town which would benefit greatly by being reconnected to the Railway system again.

Another place I have yet to visit! Great tour👏
Aw, my bonnie wee toon!
Lovely too!
Oooh my Youngest Brothers Birthday. X ❤️
I do visited kelso ,31 the square was the place where i lived

The DPD van was not there when you arrived at the square - it must have heard you calling !! Thsnks for the trip, keep em coming 👍💯🤩
If you did a walk around the abbey ruins, you may be in there 10 minutes. There isn't much left.
Yeah I did wonder that!
Nice.
👍👍👍
Would you ever walk around Stranraer in Scotland
Most definitely yes!
I have read as love history there is a belief that King Arthur was from here in the River. !
Ah didn’t know that!
One of times popped in we Met "Wet Wet Wet when all really kicking off for them in the bar small one think Black Swan?
No way! I’m jealous I love that band!
Have you been to Galashiels?
Not yet but plan to!
Worked in the ice rink years ago ,got fish and chips in the town couldnt believe they deep fry mince pies in the same fat
Oh my word!! 🤣🤣
How many kilometres do you walk a week when filming ?
About 50 to 60k a week
Average about 12k a day ish
So many DPD vans around these days 🤣
These building are very Scottish. How can other countries have similar ones!
go there if you think alcoholism is cool
Wow... crikey
Nice looking town but "welcoming" is not a word I would associate with Kelso.
