Moffat and the surrounding area offers a wide range of activities for visitors and residents alike.

Moffat is a great place to live.  If you are raising a young family, it enjoys a safe environment and a school with an excellent reputation.  In this modern era of people combining working from home with spending a couple days in the office, it couldn't be better placed for Stranraer and Newcastle.

Crucially, moving to Moffat and becoming part of the community is simple.  There are clubs for just about every enthusiasm...and if there's not just the right one for you, it's easy to start your own!

Clean air, wonderful scenery, a town into which you can be dropped and not be faced with a street full of multiples, all go together to create a wonderful country atmosphere."

Moffat in the heart of Southern Scotland, 3 minutes from the M74, is a great place to live. From first glance Moffat is an attractive town, a coaching stop and 19th century spa town. Moffat is an outstanding conservation town with modern amenities. Offering free parking, a ‘double’ High Street, lots of specialist shops, cafés and hotels, beautiful Station Park and many super walks.

Local Business people pride themselves on their friendly approach.

There are a whole host of superb places to eat including a number of award-winning restaurants as well as homely cafés. Moffat is a great base to discover the Borders and Dumfries & Galloway and is only 50 miles from Edinburgh and Glasgow.

"We love staying in Moffat because it gives us the perfect work/life balance".
