Moffat
Moffat is a former burgh and parish in Dumfriesshire, which is now part of the Dumfries as well as Galloway neighborhood authority area in Scotland, pushing the River Annan, with a population of around 2,500. It was a centre of the wool trade and a day spa community. Moffat is around 59 mi (95 km) to the southeast of Glasgow, 51 mi (82 km) to the south of Edinburgh, 21 mi (34 km) to the north of Dumfries and 44 mi (71 km) to the north of Carlisle. The Moffat Home Resort, situated at the northern end of the High Road, was created by John Adam. The nearby Star Hotel, a mere 20 feet (6 m) large, was provided in the Guinness Book of Records as the narrowest hotel in the world. Moffat won the Britain in Blossom contest in 1996. Moffat is the home to Moffat toffee. The town is held to be the ancestral seat of Clan Moffat. The Devil's Beef Tub near Moffat was made use of by the participants of Clan Moffat and also later on the members of Clan Johnstone to hoard livestock swiped in predacious raids.
