The Moffat Residence Hotel, located at the northern end of the High Street, was made by John Adam. The nearby Star Hotel, a plain 20 feet (6 m) vast, was noted 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 residence to Moffat toffee. The community is held to be the ancestral seat of Clan Moffat. The Devil's Beef Tub near Moffat was used by the participants of Clan Moffat and later the members of Clan Johnstone to hoard cattle taken in predative raids.
