Company information

Welcome to the Galapate Group from the Scottish Borders. Our Galapate story began when we took over the Ladhope Inn, Galashiels in 2005, followed by the Auld Mill Inn in the town centre in 2008. More recently, we were delighted to add the Dryburgh Arms to our collection and in April 2018, following extensive refurbishment and improvements, we re-launched this lovely Pub with Rooms in Newtown St Boswells. Each of these establishments has a real sense of history within the towns that they are located, in fact the Ladhope Inn dates back to 1792. All three can be described as local landmarks in their own right and have historical significance which is very important in our local communities. Whilst improvements have been made, changes have been sympathetic to the old buildings and their traditional values. We are immensely proud of our Scottish Borders roots and are a hard-working, family owned business which cares passionately about each of our establishments and the local communities that we serve. From the ongoing support of local sports clubs to community events that are held in each of the pubs, our local pride comes shining through.
