Moffat is a burgh and former spa town in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland, lying on the River Annan, with a population of around 2,500. The most notable building in the town is the Moffat House Hotel, designed by John Adam. The nearby Star Hotel, a mere 20ft (6 m) wide, boasted a record in the Guinness Book of Records as the narrowest hotel in the world. Moffat was a notable market in the wool trade, and this is commemorated with a statue of a ram by William Brodie in the town's market place. The ram was presented to the town by William Colvin, a local businessman, in 1875. The ram is missing its ears, and has been since it was first presented. Legend has it that when Brodie realised that he had forgotten the ears he promptly committed suicide (although he did commit suicide shortly afterwards, this is unlikely to be the reason).
