23/12/2009Let's make a list: the Best of the Best in Galashiels

It's the end of the year and the end of a decade - times can be tough, but let's instead dwell on the GOOD things which have happened in the last ten years.

We might be facing turmoil and great challenges - financial, environmental, political, local - but let's see if we can make a list of everything that's been GOOD here in Gala.

So what are the best things to happen to Galashiels over the last decade? Think of great events, local heroes, sports victories, town improvements and positive developments, shared joys or happy memories.

Post your suggestions and we'll compile our s1galashiels Best of the Best list.

I grew up in Galashiels, and visit as often as I can. There are so many good things about Gala. Of courses family is the best of the best, but there are many other things to appreciate about Gala. The lovely setting, the hills, the rivers, the gardens, the great architecture, for example, the stone builds, the Victorian homes, Old Gala House and the best of the best the War Memorial and the fountain. Bank Street Gardens is just fabulous. The Best of the Best of course is the sense of community and pride that surrounds the Gala Day. Galashiels is a treasure that should be appreciated by all.
