Winter conditions on the High Road, Galashiels
The main roads in the town were cleared by gritters after a decent snowfall but untreated side roads such as the High Road were tricky to drive on.

An old disused quarry on Blaikie's Hill
I remember visiting this small quarry as a boy, almost 50 years ago, when there were no trees inside. Unfortunately a lot of rubbish is strewn around the place.

Demolition work in Galashiels
This photograph, taken on 09/11/06 from the first floor of Galashiels Health Centre, shows demolition work continuing on the East abutment after the steel framed Station Brae Bridge had been dismantled. The removal of the bridge was delayed because of complications in diverting B.T. cables within the structure. The scaffolding on the right is part of the construction work for the South end of the Waverley rail link bridge.

Traffic is negotiating the Station Brae in Galashiels after a 10cm overnight fall of snow. A biting east wind brought in the snow after the area enjoyed a spell of calm weather.
