Moffat
Moffat is a former burgh and parish in Dumfriesshire, which is currently part of the Dumfries and Galloway neighborhood authority location in Scotland, lying on the River Annan, with a population of around 2,500. It was a centre of the wool trade as well as a health spa town. Moffat is around 59 mi (95 kilometres) to the southeast of Glasgow, 51 mi (82 kilometres) to the south of Edinburgh, 21 mi (34 kilometres) to the north of Dumfries and also 44 mi (71 kilometres) to the north of Carlisle. The Moffat Residence Hotel, situated at the northern end of the High Road, was designed by John Adam. The nearby Star Hotel, a mere 20 ft (6 m) wide, was noted in the Guinness Book of Records as the narrowest hotel worldwide. Moffat won the Britain in Blossom competition in 1996. Moffat is the home to Moffat toffee. The community 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 predatory raids.
