Kelso Connections

Several local organisations worked together as Kelso Connections: Kelso Heritage (formerly Friends of Kelso Museum) SocietyKelso LibraryKelso and District Amenity Society and Kelso Laddies Association. Kelso Connections was established to create storyboards for the Year of Homecoming 2009. For ten years until 2019 they produced annual storyboards to celebrate more people from Kelso who have made a contribution to the world.

As well as compiling the information for the “We’re from Kelso” exhibition, biographies of 32 people with Kelso connections subsequently turned the exhibition into a book published in 2009.

Kelso Connections went on to research and create two more books. “We’re From Kelso Too”, published in 2015 which contains twenty five biographies, and in 2019 to close the project, the final book “More from Kelso” appeared.
Kelso Connections also produced a website which was live during the ten year period of the project.

At a future date, we hope to be able to publish the main work from Kelso Connections on this website.
