BOOK NOW BOOK TOUR 2

Without giving too much away, we have everything from a gruesome discovery that shocked the world to reports of otherworldly encounters in a galaxy far, far away...

Starting at the famous Moffat Ram, an iconic public statue celebrating the town’s rural heritage, this storytelling tour meanders along Moffat’s wide, impressive main street, where we will pass fine shops, characterful hotels and even an historic apothecary, before tapering off the beaten track into a network of evocative closes. Gathered together, we will face the past, as we unravel layers of gripping accounts – grim deeds, heroic acts and tales of the unexpected await…

Plus there'll be accounts of strange experiences in an historic house to dark episodes from the infamous Killing Times. Moffat has much to offer history lovers and those who enjoy exploring a life less ordinary.


The Mostly Ghostly team can’t wait to get out on those atmospheric streets and transport guests back to eventful episodes in Moffat’s colourful past.
