The Edwardians put up bridges which crossed back and forward over the Allan Water in the Fairie Glen. The Town's folk of Galashiels call the river The Ellwyn, hence "Ellwyn's Fairie Glen". I hope the council put the paths and bridges back some day, as it would have been something to see in its prime.
