Area Insights

Although many of the border towns offer national conveniences like Sainsbury’s, M&S and Morrison’s, Galashiels offers a large Tesco’s and ASDA supermarket and some truly fantastic local suppliers on the doorstep that would love your support. Gala also offers a multi-screen cinema and many sporting facilities including rugby, football and hockey pitches and an athletics track at Tweedbank.
