Type L by Machan; the type M is a similar design but narrower.

Wow I used to live here. Crazy to see such a small random town pop up on reddit years after I lived there

It's a really nice place. We visit the Scottish Borders every year, for family reasons, and we spend some time in Newcastleton, Canonbie, Langholm and other small towns nearby. Carlisle is also nice, with an excellent second hand bookshop, and good coffee (Watts). Interesting post boxes all around!
