Today, while its textile heritage remains an important part of its identity, Galashiels has evolved into a modern market town and serves as an educational hub, hosting the main campus of Heriot-Watt University's School of Textiles and Design. The town's cultural landscape reflects both its industrial past and its contemporary role in Scottish education and arts, with various heritage sites and cultural venues preserving and celebrating its rich history.
