Galashiels is the largest town in the Scottish Borders, a former textile centre on the Gala Water that has been transformed by the Borders Railway, which opened in 2015 as the longest new domestic railway built in Britain for over a century. The rail link to Edinburgh (55 mins) has boosted the local economy and property market significantly.
“Scottish Borders town transformed by new railway. Heriot-Watt Borders Campus. Textile heritage.”
