"Best of the Best: Best Small Town" Voted no. 1 by readers of The Scotsman, and described:
"MOFFAT, Dumfriesshire: Up to No. 1 as recommendations flood in. "Please include the little-known Craigieburn Garden near Moffat (on the A708 to St. Mary's Loch), a garden owned by Janet Wheatcroft situated in a deep wooded gorge and largely created by gardener Datenji Sherpa who came to Scotland from Nepal." says Robert E. Stewart from Merchiston. "He has filled the garden with Himalayan plants and has some seeds and plants for sale in his nursery." Elizabeth Roberts has praised its Well Street shops, following mentions for the Grey Mare's Tail waterfall and Colvin Fountain, adding to praise as a classic Victorian spa town and for its boating pond and sweet shop.
