Galashiels mill lade

Galashiels expanded from a village to a textile town in the early 19th century. Water wheels powered the mills, supplied from a cauld (weir) on the Gala Water, flowing in a mill lade or channel built to take water from mill to mill. The lade ran southeastwards from the cauld to rejoin the Gala Water about 2km downstream. It is marked as 'Mill Lead' on the OS 6" map of the town published in 1900.
