Galashiels is one the principal economic and administrative centres which serves the wider Scottish Borders area and is situated on the A7 trunk route approximately 35 miles south of Scotlandâ??s capital city Edinburgh. Galashiels provides the principal shopping, social and administrative facilities for the surrounding area and is in effect the principal population centre for the region with an estimated population of some 15,000. The town is renowned for textile making and is home to the Herriot-Watt Universityâ??s School of Textiles and Design. Galashiels and the wider Borders region has benefitted from the opening of The Borders Railway Line in September 2015 with trains running to the capital city of Edinburgh every 30 minutes throughout the day with journey times under an hour making Galashiels a popular commuting location. The site more specifically is located on Roxburgh Street in the centre of Galashiels lying closeby to the High Street.
