Proposed housing site at Easter Langlee
This is part of a 65 acre site on the eastern outskirts of Galashiels that will see 493 new houses built if planning permission is granted to Persimmon Homes who wish to develop the site in 2 phases. The land has been zoned for housing in the Scottish Borders Council Finalised Local Plan (although for a maximum of 300 housing units) and the development would increase the population of Galashiels by almost 2000 and overtake Hawick as the largest town in the Scottish Borders. The most up to date figures from the General Register Office for Scotland has Hawick with 14,300 residents and Galashiels with 13,900.

Old Bridge in the Ellwyn Glen
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.

Looking Into Ellwyn Glen
The start of Ellwyn Glen, which used to be a popular walk and picnic spot. It's not easy to get far up the glen nowadays.

A space in the woods
By the B6374 between Galashiels and Darnick. Presumably used for 'kid's parties, stag/hen do's [sic], team building events', judging by the banner.
