Galashiels
Galashiels is a Scottish burgh in Selkirkshire on the Gala Water river. It represents a significant business centre for the Borders region. Although it has an oceanic climate, its elevated position and distance from the sea means that it has chillier winters and somewhat warmer summers than most seaside places, and snow in winter months is more common. According to the 2011 census, the town has a permanent population of around 14994. In 2015, the Scottish Borders Council asserted Galashiels as the capital of the Scottish Borders. Its population increased dramatically as a result of the cloth trade with numerous mills. A connection with the town's mill history, 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 particularly well-known 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 since 2009 has moved and now accompanies the University. A significant 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 the home of Gala RFC and Gala Fairydean Rovers, with the football and rugby stadiums connected to each other at one end. The football club's main stand was constructed in 1963 to designs by Peter Womersley, based in neighboring Gattonside, with the cantilevered concrete structure, in the Brutalist style, being protected as a Category A listed structure.
