Pelosi's Corner Café, Langholm

Highlight • Cafe

Langholm, known locally as 'Muckle Toon', is a pretty border town that sits on the River Esk. Loads of cafes and pubs to refuel. As the town sits in a valley, between 4 hills, you might want to think about refuelling, as you're likely going to be climbing out!

MacDiarmid Memorial Sculpture

Highlight • Viewpoint

Overlooking the town of Langholm, this memorial takes the form of a giant metal open book and is dedicated to the poet Hugh MacDiarmid.

Created by the sculptor Jake Harvey, the MacDiarmid Memorial is dedicated to one of Scotland's greatest poets of the 20th century. Born Christopher Murray Grieve on 11 August 1892 in Langholm, Hugh MacDiarmid spent the majority of his life away from his birthplace but returned as often as possible, particularly to enjoy the Common Riding.
