Introduction

Located in the heart of Scotland's beautiful and rugged landscape, Galashiels is a charming town in the region of the Scottish Borders. The town serves as a testament to Scotland's rich history, and is an emblematic representation of the country's distinctive cultural heritage.

Galashiels traces its historical roots back to the 12th century, when it was a hub for the wool trade. The town is steeped in history, with several landmarks that highlight its significant past. An example is the distinguished statue of Robert the Bruce, the legendary King of Scots, located in the town's bustling marketplace. Another historical symbol is the Old Gala House, a 16th-century tower house that now serves as a museum and gallery, displaying local art and historical exhibitions.

Set amidst the rolling hills of the Scottish Borders, Galashiels boasts a scenic beauty that is uniquely Scottish. The River Tweed, known for its salmon fishing, flows nearby, breathing life into the lush and verdant landscapes surrounding the town.

Fun Fact 1

The Town of Galashiels, nestled in the Scottish Borders, has a vibrant history intricately linked with the textile industry. It is interesting to note that its name literally means 'Gauls' shiel' or 'shelter', in memory of an ancient incident in which a Gallic prince was killed by a local woman during an attempted violation. This event is commemorated by the town's emblem, which portrays a fox running away from a plum tree, with a woman brandishing a distaff. The distaff is a reminder of the town's long-standing association with the woolen trade, which was established as early as the 16th century and rapidly became Galashiels' primary economic activity. The town is still known today for its quality knitwear and tweeds.

Fun Fact 2

In terms of geography, Galashiels is uniquely positioned in a narrow valley, flanked by the Gala Water and the Eildon Hills. The latter are particularly significant, as they are a notable landmark in Scottish Borders, and are steeped in folklore and ancient history. They are referenced in Sir Walter Scott's works and are believed to be the resting place of King Arthur's knights. Moreover, Galashiels hosts the annual 'Braw Lads' Gathering', a festival that celebrates local history and traditions, including a symbolic act of 'cutting the sod', signifying the town's centuries-old dispute with neighbouring town, Melrose, over land rights. This captivating event is not only a testament to the town's rich past, but also a reflection of the strong community spirit that pervades Galashiels.

Wikipedia Says

The Scottish Borders (Scots: the Mairches, lit. 'the Marches'; Scottish Gaelic: Crochan na h-Alba) is one of 32 council areas of Scotland. It is bordered by West Lothian, Edinburgh, Midlothian, and East Lothian to the north, the North Sea to the east, Dumfries and Galloway to the south-west, South Lanarkshire to the west, and the English ceremonial counties of Cumbria and Northumberland to the south. The largest settlement is Galashiels, and the administrative centre is Newtown St Boswells. The term "Scottish Borders", is also used to designate the areas of southern Scotland and northern England that bound the Anglo-Scottish border, namely Dumfries and Galloway, Scottish Borders, Northumberland, and Cumbria. The county occupies approximately the same area as the historic shires of Berwickshire, Peeblesshire, Roxburghshire, and Selkirkshire.
