Welcome to the Royal and Ancient Burgh of Galashiels
The Galashiels town crest depicts a fox trying to reach the ripe fruits on a plum tree. The motto Sour Plums refers to a Border raid (of which there were many!) which happened in 1337, during which a party of English soldiers were taken by surprise whilst gathering plums.
