Fun hike up a stunning waterfall. The drive there from Moffat is also very pretty. Full hike will take several hours but you can see the waterfall from the bottom!

Places to eat
This is a favourite pub of ours for good pub grub and being dog friendly. It's located right on the sea shore and has an outside seating area for good weather.
