Old travel Blog photograph of the Moffat Shop on Goose Green Road in Gullane, East Lothian, Scotland. Gullane is part of the John Muir Way, a long distance walking footpath along the coast between Musselburgh and Dunglass. Greywalls Hotel was built in 1901 to a design by Sir Edwin Lutyens; the gardens were designed by Gertrude Jekyll. Gullane is the home of Muirfield Golf Course which has hosted The Open Championship on numerous occasions. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
The Clan Moffat are a family from the Scottish Borders who were powerful and influential as far back as the time of William Wallace. It is likely that the ancestor of the Moffats gave their name to the town of Moffat in Dumfriesshire. The name Moffat may be of Norse origin.
