Marketing Intelligence for Local Businesses in Highcross
Within Scottish Borders, Scotland, Highcross shares postcode district TD6 with neighbouring Dryburgh, St Boswells and Gattonside. Galashiels' woollen mills grew the town from about 600 people in 1776 to a peak of over 17,000 by 1890 across 21 mills, while Peebles, made a royal burgh around 1152, holds an annual Beltane Festival revived in 1897.
The most recent ONS snapshot (March 2026) recorded 5,000 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses in the area. Scottish Borders Chamber of Commerce, based near Galashiels, is one of 26 chambers in the Scottish network and acts as the voice of business across the Borders, including Peebles.
94.6% of new businesses in Scottish Borders were still trading one year on, as of 2023 (ONS). Numbers like that make marketing intelligence worth having, not optional - a static approach loses ground fast in a market this active.
