Princes Street Edinburgh Waverley, Galashiels EH1 1BB Scotland

Borders Railway: Edinburgh – Tweedbank. From the grandeur of the Scottish capital to the Borders town of Tweedbank, this scenic route takes you through former mining towns, wide open farmland and the lush valleys that the Borders are famous for. The Borders Railway begins at a station named after a novel by Sir Walter Scott, and ends just a stone’s throw from where he wrote it. From Edinburgh Waverley to Tweedbank this new stretch of track opens up the Scottish Borders for the first time since 1969. The train heads south from Edinburgh, passing through old mining villages such as Newtongrange and Gorebridge. From Stow the train pushes on to Galashiels, one of the largest towns in the borders, with a long history of textiles. The final stop is Tweedbank where you can explore the pretty market town of Melrose, or head out to Abbotsford House, Sir Walter Scott’s home, to explore the history of one of Scotland’s most famous writers.

Old Gala House Scott Crescent, Galashiels TD1 3JS Scotland

Set in beautifully landscaped grounds near the centre of Galashiels, Old Gala House is an impressive building dating back to 1583. Once home to the Lairds of Galashiels, the house is now a vibrant museum and gallery which tells the story of the town and its people. The building has seen over 400 years of activity and bears the fascinating traces of historic change: the painted, wooden-panelled ceiling dating from 1635 is a rare survival in Scotland, and it compares wonderfully with the ornate 18th century plaster ceiling in an adjoining room. Other rooms carry displays and information on the history of the local area and its enterprising people. It also hosts a gift shop and stunning gardens. Free car parking and partial wheelchair access with a stair lift to the exhibitions on the 1st floor. Old Gala House is now shut for the season and will reopen Spring 2024.
