Kelso
Kelso is a burgh in the Scottish Borders, located where the River Teviot flows into the River Tweed, a place famous for its salmon fishing. The town grew to service Kelso Abbey, founded by King David in 1128. Floors Castle lies in the town, while Hume Castle lies a few miles north of it.
Kelso's population is around 5,000. It was formerly in the county of Roxburghshire.
The bridge at Kelso was designed by John Rennie who later built London Bridge.
Kelso (1957 - 1983) was a thoroughbred racehorse, considered to be one of the best of the century. He was horse of the year a record five times, and won 39 races, before his retirement in 1965. His earning record held for a record 13 years. Kelso was a gelding, and hence had a longer career than most top thoroughbreds, as he could not be retired as a stud.
Kelso is the name by which character Michael Kelso (played by Ashton Kutcher) is often known on the television series That '70s Show.
