It is a thoroughbred horse racing venue located at Kelso, Roxburghshire, TD5 7SX, situated just two miles north of the town center, in the Scottish Borders, set on the confluence of the rivers Teviot and Tweed, owned by Kelso Races Ltd. However, the first recorded race meeting in Kelso took place at Caverton Edge in 1734. Races were also later held at Blakelaw. The foundation stone of the stand at the current racetrack at Berrymoss was laid on July 12, 1822, after trials at other locations around the town. It was also known as the Duke’s Course (the Duke of Roxburghe is a patron), as it was the home of Floors Castle, which was designed in 1718 for the 1st Duke of Roxburghe by Sir John Vanbrugh, although just over 100 years later the house was redesigned again.

It was a flat racing track until 1888 when the United Border Hunt moved to the course. Since then, it has run exclusively under National Hunt rules. In 2007, 2012, and 2014, the Racegoers Club voted the track as the Best Small Course in Scotland and the North of England.
