== Etymology ==
The name Galston means "place of the strangers" from the Gaelic word ''Gall'' (a stranger), and the ''Toun'' or ''Ton'' was a farm and its outbuildings. The word ''baile'' was anglicised in more recent history as toun like many other place names in Scotland which were originally "bal".〔Warrack, Alexander (1982)."Chambers Scots Dictionary". Chambers.
