You can't move for scenery and architecture in Scotland, however Kelso 
is a fair way away from the really good, 'mountainous' stuff up in the 
north. Many of the must-see things near Kelso are actually in England: 
Berwick, Bamburgh, Lindisfarne, Dunstanburgh, Cragside, Hadrian's Wall, 
Kielder spring to mind. Hadrians Wall is one of my regular haunts and if 
you want to venture as far as Tyneside or Durham I'd be happy to give 
you a tour.

West of Kelso, there's marvellous scenery around Dumfries & Galloway, 
get tuition in pronouncing "Kirkcudbright" before you go. Edinburgh and 
Glasgow aren't very far away and both very photogenic (the Necropolis in 
Glasgow is really something). Falkirk Wheel, Stirling Castle, Campsie 
Fells, Loch Lomond. Kintyre, Jura. Stick a pin in a map of Scotland and 
there'll be something worth seeing within 10km It's a fine place and 
don't forget to try the deep-fried pizza.

Or you could just do the Pennine Way.
