Galashiels
Old Parish and St Pauls Church was built to replace the existing Parish Church (built 1813) which had become outgrown by the growing population of Galashiels. Plans were drawn up during the 1870's and the church opened for worship in 1881. The site covers just over an acre, and funds for the construction were met in the main by the Manufacturers of the Woolen Industry.
Internally the church features many fine carvings on a wooden canopy, constructed below the organ pipes. Seating for 950 is provided amid open pews. Stained glass windows have been added throughout the life of the church, most recently in 2003.
