Abstract

This review summarises the current status of the Galactic TeV ($10^{12}$ eV) gamma-ray source population. It also briefly looks at the future beyond the current generation of TeV gamma-ray facilities, and highlights the role of the interstellar medium (ISM) in helping to resolve some of the challenges in interpreting the wealth of results which have been found in recent years.
