Location
9 – 11 High Street is located in a strong trading position to the eastern end of the High Street, within Galashiels Town Centre.
Galashiels is situated within the Central Scottish Borders. It is generally considered to be the principal administrative, retail and social centre for the region effectively serving a population of in excess of 115,000. Galashiels itself has a population of approximately 12,960 according to the 2020 Mid-Year Population Estimate compiled by the National Records of Scotland, a slight increase of that recorded at the 2011 Census.
In recent years Galashiels has benefitted from considerable public and private investment. Developments have included the Gala Water Retail Park, two new supermarkets to the east of the town centre, significant transport infrastructure works including the Galashiels Inner-Relief Road. In addition, the Borders Railway Link was completed in 2015 re-established passenger services between Edinburgh Waverley and the Central Borders.
The journey time from Galashiels to Edinburgh City Centre is approximately fifty-five minutes, with departures every thirty minutes. On weekdays the first train departs from Edinburgh at 05:45 with the last at 23:55.
There is also a significant student population with Campuses at Heriot Watt University and Borders College approximately one mile to the east of Netherdale. The nearby Borders Genera Hospital has close training links with a number of the Edinburgh Universities.
9 – 11 High Street occupies a prominent corner position opposite the £6.7 million Great Tapestry of Scotland development which was originally anticipated to generate an additional 50,000 visitors each year, although the visitors numbers to date are understood to be well below this estimate.
The Town features a wide range of High Street and out of town retail, restaurants, cafes and local amenities

Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on January 19, 2022
Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:
Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on January 19, 2022
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
