Devil's Beef Tub

Today's the day …………………… to show off

My friend Andrea has never been to Edinburgh - so we had to put that right.

We drove northwards and deliberately chose our most favourite route to show off the Scottish Borders at their best. We had an ice-cream in Moffat and then drove up past the Devil's Beef Tub.  The Beef Tub  is a 500-ft deep, dramatic hollow in the hills north of the Scottish town of Moffat. It's formed by four hills - Great Hill, Peat Knowe, Annanhead Hill, and Ericstane Hill and is one of the two main sources of the River Annan. Its unusual name derives from its use by the Border Reivers, namely the Johnstone clan, known to their enemies as 'devils', to hide stolen cattle.

And it was all looking very good ……………………….
