Landscape (post Medieval)

What is recorded here

Floors Castle Estate occupies the Scottish Borders as a post Medieval landscape, its boundaries marked with one metre accuracy on the national record. The estate may contain gardens, fields or hidden paths shaped by centuries of human hands, yet no public entry is guaranteed. Its exact character remains unclear without direct observation, leaving the castle and surrounding land wrapped in distance rather than description.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Floors Castle Estate as Landscape (post Medieval). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Floors Castle was built by the Duke of Roxburghe in the early 18th century and is remembered as one of the largest and most important stately homes in the Scottish Borders. It is significant for its architectural grandeur and its historical association with the powerful Roxburghe family.
