About Fountainhall

  • Fountainhall sits in the valley of the Gala Water, which flows north from the Moorfoot Hills to join the River Tweed at Galashiels. The village is a quiet agricultural community, with a parish church, a village hall, and a scattering of farms and cottages. The surrounding farmland is typical of the upper Gala valley — improved grassland on the valley floor, with heather moorland on the surrounding hills.
  • The Gala Water at Fountainhall is a good trout stream, and the pools below the village are popular with fly fishers in the summer. The river is managed by the Gala Angling Association, and day tickets are available for visitors. The river valley is a pleasant walking area, with a network of paths along the riverbank.
  • The Moorfoot Hills above Fountainhall are managed primarily for grouse shooting, and the heather moorland supports populations of red grouse, curlew, golden plover, and short-eared owl. The hills are also important for birds of prey, including merlin, peregrine, and hen harrier. The views from the high ground above the village take in the full sweep of the Tweed valley to the Eildon Hills.
  • Fountainhall is within easy reach of the Borders Railway at Stow, which has transformed connectivity between the area and Edinburgh since its reopening in 2015. The journey to Edinburgh Waverley from Stow takes just 40 minutes, and the railway has made it possible to commute from the Borders to Edinburgh. The village is a quiet, self-contained community with a strong sense of local identity.
