Hopes high Kelso Abbey can reopen before 900th anniversary

Efforts to address the concerns have involved Kelso Community Council, the Kelso Heritage Society (KHS) and the Duke of Roxburghe, whose Ker family was handed ownership of the abbey in the 17th Century.

At a meeting last week long-awaited good news was shared.

Colin Henderson, who chairs the KHS, explained: “Hats off to HES because they have pulled out the stops.

“If all the processes are squared away in the next few weeks, Kelso Abbey will reopen to the public at the end of July, which is tremendous.

“Many of us didn’t think we would see it reopen in our lifetimes, but HES has brought surveyors, architects, highly skilled tradespersons and even drone pilots to Kelso, and it has brought the result we hoped for.”
