Moffat sits at the head of Annandale, a broad-streeted former spa town that now serves as a walkers’ base for the Southern Uplands — the Devil’s Beef Tub and the Grey Mare’s Tail waterfall are both close by. Look out for the ram statue on the high street, raised in 1875 to the local wool trade, and the Star Hotel, once in the Guinness records as the narrowest hotel in the world. Dark skies too, if you linger after nightfall.
