Galashiels

Galashiels is a Scottish burgh in Selkirkshire on the Gala Water river. It represents a significant commercial centre for the Borders region. Although it has an oceanic climate, its raised position and distance from the sea means that it has chillier winters and relatively warmer summers than the majority of coastal areas, and snow in winter months is more frequent. According to the 2011 census, the town has a permanent population of around 14994. In 2015, the Scottish Borders Council acknowledged Galashiels as the capital of the Scottish Borders. Its population grew rapidly as a result of the fabric trade with numerous mills. A connection with the town's mill background, the Mill Lade, continues to link the town from near the site of mills at Wheatlands Road, to Netherdale, through Wilderhaugh, Bank Street, the Fountain and next to the retail development street. The town is especially popular for fabric making, and it is also the site of Heriot-Watt University's School of Textiles and Design, Galashiels Academy and one campus of the Borders College, which as of 2009 has moved and now joins with the University. A well known landmark in Galashiels is the Glasite church, which remains in possible danger of being lost, but it remains to be standing in between the mills and shop buildings on High Street, Botany Lane and Roxburgh Street. It is home to Gala RFC and Gala Fairydean Rovers, with the football and rugby grounds linked to each other at one end. The football club's main stand was built in 1963 to designs by Peter Womersley, based in adjacent Gattonside, with the cantilevered concrete structure, in the Brutalist style, being protected as a Category A listed structure. For all your house upgrades, make sure to make use of dependable experts in Galashiels to make certain of quality.
