Galashiels roofscape

Image: © Walter Baxter Taken: 10 Oct 2007

A mixture of roof types in Thistle Street, Meigle Street, Lintburn Street, Scott Street and Gala Park, viewed from Eildon Street on the southwest side of the town. A recent housing scheme on Blaikie's Hill is centre left in the background and the field to the right below the mast on Wester Hill, is zoned for future housing. The small white blob on the hillside on the upper left is a protest sign about the Tesco superstore development in the town, but I doubt if many folk will see that up there. See Image
