Site of Longtown station, 2000. View northward from the A6071 bridge over the former railway and River Esk. Longtown station was on the ex-NBR Waverley Line (Edinburgh - Hawick - Carlisle), which was closed from 6/1/69 along with this station. However, the branch line Longtown - Gretna, which served the major Gretna Munitions Factory (established in 1915), remained although it was closed to passengers from 9/8/1915.

Absolutely a beautiful place to stay with a large group. This enormous facility comes with huge bedrooms and a well-equipped kitchen. It is so nice to sleep in rooms that feel sound proof. Having a washer and dryer was very helpful, especially at the end of our long trip through Europe.
