Town Trail
This impressive church building, formerly known as Old Parish and St Paul’s Church, held its first service in November 1881 to the accompaniment of organ music and was built to provide additional room for the expanding congregation of the Parish Church near Mercat Cross. The Parish Church closed in 1931 and the congregation combined with St Paul’s.
The Old Parish and St Paul’s Church was renamed Galashiels Church of Scotland in 2022.
