Quote

The Duke of Roxburghe said: “It is wonderful to bring a new dimension to this long established event here at Floors and to see an increase in visitor numbers not only to Floors Castle but to the local Scottish Borders as all events such as this play an important part of the visitor economy.  The Food Court is a brilliant showcase to the best of the Border's natural larder.”
