Plans for a “unique tourism experience” linking Moffat and the Borders have been awarded a near £3million cash boost.
The National Lottery Heritage Fund support will aid proposals for a 113-mile trail from the Upper Annandale town to Berwick-upon-Tweed on the east coast.
Leys Geddes, chairman of Visit Moffat, is “thrilled to have heard the starting gun” on the scheme.
