Witness Statement: Having just moved to Galashiels from the Central Belt in Scotland, to get to know the area more, to see the lovely countryside and also to get my bearings on the town, I ventured up some local hills in Gala yesterday.
During the 4 hour jaunt, I took photographs of the lovely countryside on my way up "Blakes Hill", which is up behind the houses on High Road/Melrose Rd in Gala, then I headed over to "Buckholm Hill" and also took some photographs from the tops of both hills and on my way back down both. At both peaks, the views are stunning and very panoramic of most of The Scottish Borders and there are great views of the Eildon Hills over next to Melrose.
