A GUIDE TO THE SCOTTISH BORDERS - Four years ago we left Trinidad in the warm Caribbean, and migrated to Scotland to the Border area of Eildon, Walter Scott (of Ivanhoe and Rob Roy fame) lived here. Its a beautiful area, varying from soft rolling hills with hidden valleys, to rough moorland high up and bleak. Its quiet and calm here and we love it. This blog will be my diary of our adventures and our recommendations of places to visit and eat and explore.

Galashiels
This is the largest town in the Borders and is basically the commercial and industrial base. if you want a 24 hour Tesco, or go to B&Q this is the place. Main st would make you cry as there are more closed than open shops. Its a bit depressed to say the least. Having said that its got lots of shops from bicycle to bread to barber and its where we go every week to do our main shopping as Kelso does not yet have a supermarket. When the Sainsburies opens next year things will change for a lot of people and Galashiels will get more depressed unfortunately.
