Title
Moffat CAN
Description
In 2010 Moffat CAN (Carbon Neutral) rescued the derelict Old Church Depot and has been turning it into a model for low carbon living. The surrounding wasteland is now a community market garden and allotments and the zero-carbon Church houses CAN’s recycling operation, offices and Scotland’s first Aquaponics Greenhouse. Aquaponics is a combination of aquaculture and hydroponics and is a sustainable way of growing edible fish and vegetables. All power and heat for the site is sourced from renewable energy. Moffat CAN are keen to offer a ‘Key to Low Carbon Living’.

Activities
As you enter the town from Dumfries please park at Station Car Park on the left. The site can then be accessed by a short walk along the river to the back gate of the allotments - look out for the signs. To access the site by car or from the centre of Moffat on foot, turn off the High Street onto Church Street (next to the Bank of Scotland and opposite the war memorial). Continue along Church Street and on to Annanside. Moffat CAN’s Old Church Depot is the big white building opposite the playing fields.
Limited parking at site for disabled car users only please.
