Welcome to my south west Scotland road trip around the magnificent South West Coastal 300 - inspired very much from my adventure on the North Coast 500 the previous year. The route begins and ends in Dumfries but this travel vlog covers the first part of that journey from Dumfries to the hills of Moffat. It’s another one of my solo self-drive adventures in Scotland.
Starting in Dumfries I’ll explain my plan as well as mention some of the challenges that I’m expecting to face. There’s no doubt that completing the road trip will hinge on the ongoing UK wide fuel crisis, the great British weather and my own planning & scheduling! I’ll show you a map of the route and tell you how I’m intending to cover it all.
Following a quick walk around Dumfries I jump in the car and hit the road - the first stop will be Caerlaverock Castle which turns out to be a 13th century moated triangular castle seven miles to the south. Having explored the area I moved on to my next destination of Lockerbie, infamous for the horrific Pan Am Flight 103 bombing that took place over the town in 1988. I visited the Garden Of Remembrance at Lockerbie Cemetery and then a memorial at Sherwood Crescent which is where a large part of the plane came down forever changing the landscape and the lives of countless people.
After taking a walk through Lockerbie town centre I drove to the Grey Mare's Tail Waterfall in the hills surrounding Moffat (a place often called Moffat waterfall). Turns out it’s one of the highest waterfalls in the UK and is situated in an area that’s very popular with walkers and hikers - mainly because of the numerous trails and stunning valley viewpoints. If you have a few hours then you can follow the trail past the waterfall all the way up to Loch Skeen - although sadly I didn’t have the time to go that far.
My final stop was the town of Moffat which is a popular place to base yourself if you’re wanting to explore the local area. I took a walk down the High Street, saw the narrowest hotel in the UK, strolled along the tiny lanes and roads and then found my guest house that I’ll booked to stay at - the Rockhill Guest House in Moffat. I’ll give you a quick tour and tell you how much it cost for me to stay the night.
A wonderful first day driving the South West Coastal 300 in Scotland. Stay tuned for more videos that document my travels around the rest of the route!
