Moffat is a wonderful base for all manner of adventures in the Southern Uplands. Where hillwalking is concerned, the nearby Moffat Hills are one of the nation's best kept secrets, with silent summits, stunning waterfalls and scenic grandeur. The historic market town is full of quirks, from Britain's narrowest hotel and street to Scotland's oldest pharmacy. It proudly boasts a couple of firsts: the UK's first 'Dark Sky' town and Scotland's first Walkers Welcome town.

The Moffat Ram

Highlight • Settlement

The Moffat Ram marks the start point of the magnificent Annandale Way and is a conspicuous sight on Moffat's Main Street. The bronze figure, oddly earless, was comissioned in 1875 and nods to Moffat's proud traditions of sheep farming and wool trading. The legend goes that sculptor William Brodie hung himself after the unveiling when locals recoiled in horror, proclaiming "it has nae lugs!" The legend has no factual grounds; Brodie died six years later in Edinburgh.
