One of my favourite places near the Tweed is the Colvin Fountain, otherwise known as the Moffat Ram. It is an iconic cast-bronze sculpture which was gifted to the town by philanthropist William Colvin in 1875. Colvin commissioned renowned sculptor William Brodie to craft the black-faced ram fountain which was modelled on a prize-winning ram from Kingledores Farm just north of the Crook Inn.
At almost 150 years old, this ram has stood the test of time! You can visit the Moffat Museum to learn more about it.
