In history, Annan was the first township for people crossing the land border at Gretna (before Gretna existed!) and heading West. 7 miles from the land border but was often attacked and burned by troops crossing the Solway Firth at low tide from the Cumbrian coast. So - although not on the land border, the town is on the sea border between England and Scotland.
Moving here from Africa and living here for more than 30 years now we love it! It has become home we live the people ❤
That's lovely to hear. Thank you for sharing.

Well, it's near the border and is known as the Queen of the Border - so that's good enough for me. Definitely not a Borders town though!
