Situation
The Brae is positioned on very outskirts of the popular town of Moffat. While private, peaceful and enjoying all associated with rural living, The Brae remains convenient for easy access to the south, central Scotland and beyond.

Moffat is a picturesque former spa town, which has been popular as a holiday resort since the seventeenth century. Settled below the Southern Upland Hills, it remains very appealing to this day and has been designated as an area of outstanding natural beauty.

There are numerous excellent local shops and services, including many hotels and restaurants. Moffat Academy (with primary and secondary schools) is well respected, and the town has good sports and recreational facilities.

The continuing popularity of Moffat and its surrounding area is due in part to its convenient distance from Edinburgh (53 miles) and Glasgow (57 miles). There are mainline train services from Lockerbie (15.4 miles) and the M74 can be joined in a few minutes, leading to Carlisle and the South.

Dumfriesshire is one of the most attractive parts of southern Scotland. With a mild climate and unspoilt countryside, a great variety of walks can be enjoyed in the vicinity and riding is particularly popular. Salmon and trout fishing can be arranged locally and there are several golf courses within easy reach. The Solway Firth is less than an hour’s drive away.

Travel Directions
From Glasgow, proceed south on the M74 heading for Carlisle, follow the M74 for about 55 miles and turn off at junction 15 following signs for Moffat on the A701. On entering Moffat, The Brae is on your left hand side."
