The A709 provides the shortest link to the A74(M) at Lockerbie, which is some 12 miles distant.
The property occupies a prominent and highly visible position, fronting the busy thoroughfare of Whitesands, adjacent to one of the town’s main public car parks.

The subjects benefit from good public transport links with bus stances and taxi ranks located nearby. Other commercial occupiers include the Tourist Information Centre, hot-food takeaways, licensed public houses & restaurants, private retailers, professional offices and several salons / studios.
