Church spires in Galashiels
Viewed from the High Road, this shows in the left foreground, St Andrew's Arts Centre in Bridge Street which was built as St Andrew's Church in 1885. The spire in the centre is at St Aidan's Church in Gala Park, opened in 1880 but closed in 2005. The red sandstone spire behind St Aidan's Church is at Old Parish and St Paul's Church in Scott Crescent which opened in 1881. The 58m spire was finished in 1885 and for the past few years a pair of peregrine falcons have nested here and successfully reared young. The former spire of St Andrew's Church was reduced to a small pyramidal roof, a poor substitute for what was a great spire, and a major loss to the roofscape of the town.

Three church spires in Galashiels
This is a scan from a 1984 print showing three spires in the centre of Galashiels viewed from the High Road. The near spire belonged to St Andrew’s Church (1885) before it was sadly reduced to a stump when the church was converted into St Andrew’s Arts Centre. The middle spire is at Old Parish and St Paul’s Church in Scott Crescent which opened in 1881. The spire on the right belongs to St Aidan’s Church in Gala Park, opened in 1880 and closed in 2005. For a similar view in 2007 showing the reduced St Andrew’s spire, see Image

Demolition works at St Aidan?s Church, Galashiels
The main church building and hall have already been demolished and workers are now removing the upper part of the spire stone by stone. The Grade B listed church in Gala Park was built in 1880 and closed in 2005. The owners were given permission to demolish the church after proving the building was beyond the point of economic repair. It will certainly be a loss to the roofscape of the town Image
