A major influence on this fast growing village is the Gala Water. Behind the camera are several new houses, with more to come. The old town centre can be seen opposite, beside the churches (the old ruined one is not visible). Between the two parts, cattle still graze on flood prone land. Note the raised bank alongside the river.
