From Johnstonebridge return to the Way at Blackburn and continue north through a series of plantations towards Beattock where the landscape starts to take on a more upland character. At Beattock the Annandale Way briefly joins the Southern Upland Way heading eastwards but shortly after crossing under the M74 motorway it departs northwards towards the town of Moffat along the course of the old Roman Road. Although the next section will be on the Southern Upland Way the Kentigern Way continues to follow the Annandale Way north and into Moffat. Moffat offers the visitors a range of places of interest including Moffat Church, The Museum, and Merlyn’s Cave and The Chalybeate Spring.In Moffat a wide range of accommodation options are available.
