Old Photographs High Street Moffat Scotland

Old photograph of cars, shops, hotel and houses on the High Street in Moffat in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. Clan Moffat is an ancient Scottish Border clan that was once powerful and influential. The clan's ancestor was likely a Norseman, William de Mont Alto, who came to Scotland in the 10th century. By the 12th century, the family was known as "de Moffet" and were significant landowners. Moffats fought in the Wars of Scottish Independence, with Adam Moffat and his brother fighting at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314. They were known Border Reivers and had a long running feud with the powerful Clan Johnstone.
