Floors Castle has been home to my family and to my predecessors since the house was built by William Adam for the 1st Duke of Roxburghe in 1721. What you will see here is an evolving story of a house and the impressions left by succeeding generations. The roof alterations by the 2nd Duke, the external remodeling by the 6th Duke and the interior modifications by the 8th Duchess are just some of the changes effected over the years. Like any family home, it is continuing to undergo change, and these changes reflect individual tastes and ideas which the Duchess and I believe give the house its warmth, life and charm. |
