    Hiking

    The Moffat Ram marks the start point of the magnificent Annandale Way and is a conspicuous sight on Moffat's Main Street. The bronze figure, oddly earless, was comissioned in 1875 and nods to Moffat's proud traditions of sheep farming and wool trading. The legend goes that sculptor William Brodie hung himself after the unveiling when locals recoiled in horror, proclaiming "it has nae lugs!" The legend has no factual grounds; Brodie died six years later in Edinburgh.
