Tour Scotland video of a walk over the Bridge To Heaven over the Gala Water on visit to Stow, Scottish Borders. Stow, is a Scottish village seven miles north of Galashiels. A rare example of a packhorse bridge, built in the 1650s, can be found in Stow opposite the church. There has been a church at Stow since the 7th century but the earliest example still visible today was built in the late 15th century on the site of the Church of St Mary which was consecrated on 3 November 1242. The church used today, St Mary of Wedale, was built in 1876 and features a 140 foot high clock tower.
