More information about Galashiels
Galashiels is a picturesque, mountainous market town found in the peaceful Scottish Borders Region of the United Kingdom. It is situated about 30 miles south-east of Edinburgh and 110 miles north of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, connected by the A7 route.
Once known as a centre for the wool trade, Galashiels has now developed into a thriving locality known best for its connections to the car industry, finance and motorsport. With a population of slightly over 14,000 people, Galashiels is the largest settlement in the Borders Region and enjoys the presence of several multi-million pound companies in all sectors of industry.
It was once a purely rural and agricultural region, with very little industry. There was a small amount of quarrying and metalworking that took place in the area, but generally the population was composed mainly of farmers and shepherds. It wasn't until the early 19th Century that the population and industry of the area began to increase significantly, as it became a central hub for textile manufacturing in Scotland. Large mills began to be built, leading to huge success and profitability for the town for the next century.
The textile boom in Galashiels faded in the early-20th Century, but it did not take the town long to reinvent itself and embark upon a new path of success. The car industry became the cornerstone industry to Galashiels' development over the next century, with many large manufacturing plants in and around the town. In terms of car industry, Galashiels is best known for the production of sports cars, such as the famous Lamborghini. It also has a strong presence of numerous small car component companies.
In addition to the car industry, Galashiels has a successful finance industry which serves the needs of the whole of the Borders Region. There are a number of banks, financial services companies and insurance firms based in and around the town, all of them major employers of the local population and helping to boost the region's economy.
Galashiels is also well known for its connections to motorsport. The town is home to the well-attended Galashiels Grand Prix, which features a host of world-class drivers and cars racing around a challenging street circuit. In addition, the town is home to several major driving schools and institutions, offering courses to those wanting to pursue a career in motorsport.
Despite the success that Galashiels has seen over the last century, the town's demographics remain largely unchanged. The majority of the population remains younger than 45, with almost 64% falling in the 18 — 44 age range. The majority of these are male, with a slightly higher overall percentage of men than women in the town. About 86% of the population is made up of White British citizens, though there is a significant minority population of Pakistani and other Asian communities in the town.
In conclusion, Galashiels is a successful and vibrant town in the Scottish Borders Region, boasting a long and successful history linked to the car industry and finance, as well as expanding success in motorsport. Its demographics are mostly unchanged, formed mainly of younger males and a diversity of ethnic backgrounds. As the town grows, it's likely that Galashiels will continue to develop further into the successful and prosperous locality it is today.
