Having come back from a walk where I yet again feel utterly depressed at farming activity around us, it is so uplifting to read something positive.

Carrifran is near Moffat. There's also a couple of buy-outs going on nearby, 1 at Leadhills and another at Langholm. The Langholm project is turning grouse moor into nature reserve (Tarras Valley Nature Reserve]. Not sure how far advanced either of these projects are, but the Carrifran valley has been utterly transformed.
