Definitely one to check out this winter
Galashiels in the Scottish Borders has been declared the happiest place in Scotland to live according to Rightmove.
"Its central placement in the Borders makes it a popular location for families, giving a relaxed way of life while being in a commutable distance of Edinburgh via either the Borders Railway, bus or car." Fans of Robert Burns may know that the Scottish poet wrote two poems about Galashiels: Sae Fair Her Hair and Braw Lads. The second is sung every year at the town's Braw Lads Gathering, an annual festival celebrating the town's history and traditions.
Nowadays, one of its most popular tourist attractions is the Great Tapestry of Scotland, one of the world's largest community arts projects that celebrates the town's textile legacy. Hand-stitched by more than 1,000 individuals, the tapestry consists of around 160 linen panels and 300 miles of wool—enough to lay the entire length of Scotland.
