Few good pubs in Moffat from what I can remember although maybe not lively just traditional real ale type pubs. Then there's the singing potter - you only visit this guy once - that was enough for me. Scared the bejesus outa me and the missus. I'm not religious so this was scary. Worth a visit though - even more LOL !!!! Will check out website tonight and hopefully should make it. Should be a good day.

From Edinburgh Head South and turn right at the wall. You can't miss it. From Glasgow Head South and turn left at the wall. You can't miss it. I left for Moffat on 3rd Jan so should make it for Sunday lunch time. - LOL !!!!! See you there Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
