The huge mural depicting Sir Walter Scott, located opposite the Royal Bank Of Scotland Building in Bank Close, was designed by local artists ans community members, and hand-painted on the wall by members of the Global Street Art team.

Debbie Paterson, trust volunteer, said: “We were keen to highlight Sir Walter Scott’s connection to Galashiels. The response from the public has been brilliant and people are enjoying the six murals we’ve installed. Each mural has its own story, but collectively they add year-round vibrancy.”
