Langholm is widely known as the "Muckle Toon", a carry forward from the 18th century when this Gateway to Scotland was not only the largest town in the Borders but was also the most prosperous, making a good living off the active smuggling which existed at that time.

It is a town of communal pride. A town where the residents welcome visitors and enjoy their company. Langholm has not been over commercialised by tourism but an increasing number of tourists are visiting each year and discovering for themselves the facilities and attractions which abound in and around Eskdale and far from the madding crowd.

There's plenty to do in Langholm and the surrounding towns. The area is great for cycling and walking and there are a number of golf courses too.
