The Heritage Map brings together surviving buildings, structures and places of interest across Galashiels, alongside lost buildings and places at risk. Most points record surviving elements of the town’s architectural and historic character.
This is not a map of the official Town Trail, although some Heritage Watch records concern official stops. See Beyond the Town Trail for independent companion information.
Coordinates generally come from Historic Environment Scotland, Trove / NRHE or another public source; approximate or representative anchor points are identified in the notes. For the physical setting behind the map, see Landscape Beneath Galashiels.
Nearby markers are grouped at wider views. Select a numbered group or zoom in to reveal the individual places.
