The Scottish Borders village that was once called 'most beautiful' by Walter Scott
The legendary writer also described it as Scotland's "most romantic" settlement. Scotland is home to countless picturesque and peaceful towns that often fly under the radar. If you are looking for a quiet staycation, these make for a great destination. If you are stuck on where to head for a day out, there is one Scottish Borders town that is definitely a hidden gem. The settlement is so pretty that it was even once named the best-looking town in Scotland by a legendary writer. As previously reported by the Daily Record, Kelso was described as the "most beautiful, if not the most romantic town in Scotland" by legendary Scottish author Sir Walter Scott. Born in Edinburgh in 1771, Scott is one of Scotland's most prolific novelists, poets, and historians—known for works such as Ivanhoe and Rob Roy. Nestled at the junction of the rivers Tweed and Teviot, Kelso is ideal for a quiet retreat. When looking at the town's many beauty spots and historic attractions, it is easy to see why Walter Scott heaped praise upon it. At the centre of Kelso is The Square, which was once a bustling market place and the hub of the town dating back to the Middle Ages. Claimed to be the largest in Scotland, the square is surrounded by impressive Georgian and Victorian buildings. Today, visitors to Kelso will find a range of charming and quirky independent businesses around the historic town square. At its centre is the Bull Ring, where bulls would have been tethered during cattle markets. Another of the most picturesque spots in Kelso is the ruins of Kelso Abbey. While the site is currently closed due to high level masonry inspections, it provides a spectacular and historic backdrop. Kelso Abbey dates back to the 12th century, and was once one of the country's biggest and richest religious houses. According to Historic Environment Scotland, what remains of the church is "one of the most spectacular architectural achievements in medieval Scotland". Elsewhere, visitors to Kelso should make time to head to Floors Castle. The castle, situated just out of town within idyllic parkland overlooking the River Tweed, is Scotland's biggest inhabited house. Dating back to the 18th century, Floors Castle and the surrounding grounds are open to the public. Inside, visitors will find everything from fine art to porcelain and tapestries, while the grounds include Victorian Walled Gardens and a beautiful riverside trail. Another historic attraction is the Kelso Racecourse, which is a thoroughbred horse racing venue that dates back to 1822. Thanks to its polite and helpful staff, it has earned the reputation of being Britain's "friendliest racecourse". Kelso also features a wide range of delicious food spots. Whether you are looking for a light bite to eat at lunch or a full three-course dinner, the town's culinary scene has something to offer everybody. One of the most popular eateries in Kelso is The Cobbles Inn, which is a modern gastropub with a varied menu. Among the dishes that visitors can enjoy are Eyemouth fish and chips, beef pie, and southern fried chicken waffle. Elsewhere, The Waggon is an award-winning family restaurant that serves up freshly cooked and locally sourced produce. It has earned praise amongst customers on Google for its "reasonably priced" menu and "excellent customer service". If you are looking to stay in Kelso, there are plenty of options to choose from when it comes to accommodation. Popular choices include the Cross Keys Hotel and the Ednam House Hotel. For those interested in a day out in Kelso, the town can be reached in just over an hour from Edinburgh by car. More information about the town can be found on the Visit Kelso website.

UK holiday park reveals major £8.1million makeover plans with new holiday cabins and campsite
Plus, the same company plans to open a new holiday park elsewhere in the UK CAMP OUT UK holiday park reveals major £8.1million makeover plans with new holiday cabins and campsite Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A HOLIDAY park has revealed major plans for an £8.1million makeover with new cabins in Wales. Forest Holidays is hoping to gain permission to replace 85 caravans and camping pitches at its site in Beddgelert, in Snowdonia National Park. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 A Welsh holiday park is planning a £8.1million makeover Credit: Eryri National Park 3 The site plans to add 22 year-round cabins to its park based in Beddgelert in Snowdonia National Park Credit: Getty The site plans to add 22 year-round, luxury cabins to its existing 16 cabin development and 85 additional pitches for both touring caravans and camping. In addition, Forest Holidays wants to create a new reception and cafe building. Currently, the site has 25 touring caravan pitches and 85 camping pitches. The proposals are part of a wider plan in collaboration with the Roberts Group - the owners of Cae Du and Cae Canol campsite, also in Beddgelert. Under a separate application, there will be more touring and camping pitches at Cae Du and Cae Canol so the village doesn't lose capacity. Public toilets and better path access for guests are also part of the plans. Back in 2017, the site gained planning consent for 16 cabins and up to 85 touring caravan pitches and camping pitches. Forest Holidays has 13 sites across the UK in woodlands owned by Forestry England, Forestry and Land Scotland, and Natural Resources Wales. The Beddgelert site is the smallest of the Forest Holidays locations and is set in a riverside wooded area. Each cabin currently has a hot tub and guests can enjoy access to the new Elvis Owl Nature Trail - which is ideal for kids as it includes activities to immerse them in nature. This holiday park has Maldives-like overwater bungalows Families can also hire bikes from the site, to explore the local area on wheels. Alternatively, guests can get some R&R with a spa treatment. Prices to stay at the holiday park vary, but can be found from £895 for a week, for a family of four. Beddgelert itself is a picturesque stone-built village, which is the ideal base for exploring Snowdonia National Park. From the village, travellers can head onto the Lôn Gwyrfai path which can be used by walkers, cyclists and horse riders. The route stretches over four miles to the village of Rhyd Ddu - which is then a good starting point to hike to the summit of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon). According to Forest Holidays, since opening in 2018 demand for the 16 cabins at Beddgelert has been high throughout the year. The site also expects annual occupancy levels of the cabins to be 96 per cent, with guests expected to spend £650,000 per annum in the local area as well. Forest Holidays plans £23million woodland park with lodges, treehouses and play zones A NEW £23million woodland holiday park with lodges, treehouses and play zones is set to open in the UK. Forest Holidays, which submitted the plans for the project, hopes to build 75 timber holiday cabins on 140 acres in a Derbyshire woodland at Farley Moor. If approved, the holiday park would feature a shop, cafe, outdoor play area and 249 parking spaces. The whopping £23million project will be able to host 185 people with cabin sizes varying from one to five beds along with treehouse rooms. Forest Holidays plans to suspend all cabins above the ground on steel pillars to protect the forest floor. The cabins would be a flat-pack design reducing the need for heavy construction equipment. Center Parcs' boss also recently revealed what to expect from its brand new holiday park in the UK. Plus, the lesser-known UK holiday park named the best in the country – with unique all-inclusive stays and free booze.
