6. Kelso
Kelso (Scots: Kelsae [1] Scottish Gaelic: Cealsaidh,[2]) is a market town in the Scottish Borders area of Scotland.
It lies between the rivers Tweed and Teviot
The town has a population of 5,639 according to the 2011 census.
Kelso's main tourist draws are the ruined Kelso Abbey and Floors Castle, a William Adam designed house completed in 1726.

7. Names of houses based on Scottish saints or places of religious significance in Scotland.
The town of Kelso came into being as a direct result of the creation of Kelso Abbey in 1128
Kelso Abbey was founded by a community of monks of the Tironesian order, from Tiron, near Chartres, in France.
Construction of the abbey is believed to have commenced immediately, and by 1143 progress was sufficiently advanced for the building to be dedicated to The Blessed Virgin and Saint John.
Why Kelso?

8. The abbey was subject to attack during the two Scottish Wars Of Independence in the late 1200’s and in the 1300’s.
In the 1540s, the building sustained major damage in attacks perpetrated under the orders of the English king, Henry VIII
Another physical assault was followed around ten years later, in 1560, by monastic disestablishment
A small remaining contingent of monks may have continued at the site for a number of years following the dissolution, but after further attacks and damage the abbey was declared officially derelict in 1587
Why Kelso?
