Property in Galashiels

Galashiels, along with smaller neighbouring towns and villages such as Melrose, Stow, Lauder, Earlston, Clovenfords, St Boswells and Newtown St Boswells (headquarters of Scottish Borders Council), is right in the geographical centre of Borders region, making the area highly accessible for commuting in all directions.

Today, thanks to major investment, the mill sites have been reborn in a different guise, with the largest now home to Gala Water Retail Park, where 24-hour supermarkets are joined by top chain stores such as Marks & Spencer and Next. Links with Galashiels’ textile industry are maintained by the School of Textiles and Design, now part of Heriot-Watt University.

Living in the Central Borders gives house buyers a far wider choice than in the city and Galashiels has property styles to suit all tastes and budgets, from starter flats and ex local authority houses to substantial stone-built semi and detached period and one-off properties at the other.

The Galashiels Bordernet website has lots more information about the area.
