About Architects
An architect designs buildings, extensions and renovations - turning your ideas into detailed plans that meet building regulations and planning requirements.
Whether you're planning a new build, converting a barn or adding an extension, an architect will manage the design process from initial sketches through to construction drawings.
In Scotland, look for an architect registered with the Architects Registration Board (ARB) and ideally chartered with the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland (RIAS).
About Stow
Stow is a village in the Gala Water valley on the A7, about seven miles north of Galashiels.
The Borders Railway has a station here, making Stow one of the most accessible villages in the northern Borders - Edinburgh Waverley is about 40 minutes by train.
The village has a medieval packhorse bridge, a 14th-century church and a setting in a wooded valley that gives it a quiet, rural character.
Stow has seen growing interest from commuters since the railway reopened, with its combination of train access and countryside setting proving attractive.
About Scottish Borders
(opens in new tab)The Scottish Borders is the largest council area in southern Scotland, stretching from the edge of Edinburgh and East Lothian in the north to the English border in the south.
It is a landscape of rolling hills, river valleys and market towns - the Tweed, Teviot, Ettrick and Yarrow rivers carve through countryside that has been fought over, farmed and written about for centuries.
Hawick and Galashiels are the largest towns, but the region's character is shaped by a string of smaller burghs - Kelso, Jedburgh, Peebles, Melrose and Selkirk - each with its own abbey ruins, common riding traditions, or rugby loyalties.
The Borders Railway, reopened in 2015, connects Tweedbank and Galashiels to Edinburgh Waverley, bringing the northern Borders within commuting distance of the capital for the first time in decades.
The region is known for its textile heritage, its abbeys and an outdoor culture built around hill walking, fishing, mountain biking and rugby - a place where community identity runs deep and the landscape is never far away.
