ABOUT THE AREA
The Scottish Borders town of Galashiels is situated just over 30 miles south of Edinburgh, on the Gala Water river. The town grew rapidly in the 19th century with the textile industry, and many woollen mills were built in the town employing thousands of people.
Today Galashiels is one of the largest of the Scottish Borders towns, with a population of just over 12,000 people, and it's a popular starting point for visitors to the area, thanks to the Borders Railway from Edinburgh. Galashiels is often misspelled as Galashields, and less commonly misspelled as Galasheils or Galasheilds.
The famous writer Sir Walter Scott is known throughout the world, but he made his home in the Scottish Borders at Abbotsford House.
Abbotsford Located just outside Galashiels, Abbotsford has undergone a multi-million-pound restoration. As well as the house itself there's now a new visitor centre and the Ochiltree's Cafe where you can enjoy lunch or afternoon tea while enjoying stunning views of the house. There's also 120 acres of land and gardens to explore including beautiful walks beside the River Tweed.
Bank Street Gardens In the centre of Galashiels, Bank Street is home to a range of independent shops. On the opposite side of the road, you'll find Bank Street Gardens a small area of land which is beautifully laid out and planted to provide a riot of colour in the summertime. Not an attraction worth making a special journey to visit but a very pleasant part of town to see while you're here.
