    Tips

    St Mary's Loch is set amidst the stunning scenery of the Yarrow Valley. The largest natural lake in the Scottish Borders, St Mary's edges the historic Ettrick Forest, a place where William Wallace—a Scottish knight who became one of the main leaders during the First War of Scottish Independence—and his allies grouped before raiding English settlements nearby. These days, the loch is a very picturesque and peaceful place to hike around.

      Set in a remote location half way along the Selkirk to Moffat road, St Mary's Loch ranks amongst the most attractive lochs in the Borders. Way marked paths enable walkers to make a complete circuit of the loch with only short sections on the road - a fine walk.
