The River Annan flows from Moffat, in South West Scotland, past the town of Lockerbie, and to the sea in the fishing town of Annan. It is one of the region's foremost fishing rivers, despite being used for many years by Chapelcross nuclear power station for cooling purposes.
Annan lies on the east side of the RiverAnnan a mile or so north of where it flows into the Solway Firth.
Travel south along the RiverAnnan from the Annan Bridge and you come to the original reason for the town's development, the wharves along the river's eastern shore.
Crossing the river nearby is the railway bridge carrying the main railway line to Dumfries and Kilmarnock.
