Old photograph of a Pipe Band marching outside the Post Office in Moffat in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. This Scottish town is the ancestral seat of Clan Moffat. During the 17th century Moffat began to grow from a small village into a popular spa town. Moffat was also a notable market town in the wool trade, and this is commemorated with a statue of a ram by William Brodie in the town's marketplace. The ram was presented to the town by William Colvin, a local businessman, in 1875. Robert Burns visited for the waters and frequented the local bars.
