Moffat
Moffat is a previous burgh and parish in Dumfriesshire, which is now part of the Dumfries and Galloway regional authority location in Scotland, lying on the River Annan, with a population of around 2,500. It was a centre of the woollen profession as well as a medspa town. Moffat is around 59 mi (95 km) to the southeast of Glasgow, 51 mi (82 kilometres) to the south of Edinburgh, 21 mi (34 kilometres) to the north of Dumfries and 44 mi (71 km) to the north of Carlisle. The Moffat House Hotel, situated at the northern end of the High Street, was made by John Adam. The nearby Star Hotel, a mere 20 ft (6 m) large, was provided in the Guinness Book of Records as the narrowest hotel in the world. Moffat won the Britain in Flower competition in 1996. Moffat is the residence 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 members of Clan Moffat as well as later on the participants of Clan Johnstone to hoard cattle swiped in predacious raids.
