On our way back to Eastbourne, we stopped in Moffat which is situated in South West Scotland just off Junction 15 on the M74. It is a cute town full of beautiful flowers, it had been a former winner of Scotland and Britain “in bloom”, and is proud of its floral displays in Station Park, the High Street and throughout the town.
Moffat has a good selection of shops offering a wide variety of products.We had just enough time to wander around and some of our group did some shopping.
In the nineteenth century, Moffat was a Spa town and this tradition has been recently re-opened with Moffat Well.
The focal point of the town centre is the world famous Moffat Ram which sits on top of the Colvin Fountain. It looks quite impressive !
And these are the pictures I took while walking around
Beautiful flowers everywhere
Pub
Main street
A church near the bus parking from back and front
and another one on the main street, with a little place and benches
Shops and houses
Sheep races
Sheep everywhere ...
and the ram statue, symbol of the town.
It was a pleasant stop, before we continued our way.
A nice place to visit, I'm told the fish & chips are good there, did you try any?
ReplyDeleteGreat views of the city. Great architecture of church.
ReplyDeleteThe grey stone buildings just scream Scotland to me. Would liked to have seen the flowers everywhere, they make such a difference to the appearance of a town.
ReplyDeletelovely small town -- I learned about the "In Bloom" contest recently from another blogger -- easy to see that this town would be a winner!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos and looks a nice town for a stop.
ReplyDeleteMoffat is beautiful as is most of Scotland. Sometimes I wish I could just move there.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely place! I would love to explore there. I adore European architecture, the churches are magnificent!
ReplyDeleteAlways a pleasure to read about your travels..thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for letting me see a glimpse of Scotland, which i might not be able to visit in this lifetime. I love the churches specially that cute one with very tall spire. And of course they are all lovely because of your lovely shots.
