In calm weather, the loch is a beautiful, mirror-like feature nestled between low hills. Swimming is potentially dangerous because the water level is regulated and cold undercurrents develop. On the shore is the basic but pleasant Tibbie Shiels Inn campsite. Across the road is a bikers' café where hikers are also welcome.

The Talla Reservoir is an earth work dam which traps the Talla Water. It opened in 1905 to increase the water supplies for the expanding city of Edinburgh. The reservoir is on the quiet, hilly road that crosses the country between Tweedsmuir and St Mary's Loch. It's quite a climb from the reservoir up to the Megget Stone at the high point but well worth it for the views.

The small lake is not directly accessible, but is beautifully situated. We were able to observe a pair of swans here.

Baddinsgill Reservoir is a charming little reservoir that rests peacefully in a picturesque valley along Thieves' Road, within the Pentland Hills. It's the perfect location to catch your breath and enjoy a picnic amongst some of Scotland's finest scenery.

Ale Water flows here into Alemoor Reservoir, and B711 here is a causeway that divides the reservoir into two parts. Very beautiful views straight from the road. Spot Alemoor Hill on the wooded slopes, north-west of the road.

Brilliant little Loch - a little hard to get close to the water.

The tourist walk through the city is called the "Smuggler's Trail" and leads to the most important places in the city. Everyone can make up their own mind about it. Eyemouth - All smugglers? Eyemouth became important, at least for Scotland, when Berwick-upon-Tweed fell to the English in the 15th century. There was a lot of fighting in this border region, then at some point the borders were as they are and Eyemouth became Scotland's southernmost port, market place and church district. In 1695, 304 people lived here, not including the poor, it is noted in the local museum, they were not counted. Witches were also burned here, of both sexes, two dozen men, women and unfortunately also children. Fishing wasn't really popular here at the beginning. The harbor was inadequately protected from northern storms and was not safe. In the first half of the 19th century the port was expanded and formed the basis for the subsequent rapid development of the fishing industry. At the 14th. In October 1881, a catastrophe occurred that is encountered here again and again. Eyemouth's fleet had sailed to the fishing grounds in bright sunshine, but without warning - there were no good forecasts in those days - a violent storm broke out and few made it back to safety. 129 Eyemouth fishermen died. Many died within sight of their families, a sculpture on the beach clearly shows this. About 30 years earlier, more than 100 people died of cholera here in six weeks. What did people here have to go through back then? But what about the smugglers? Eyemouth was popular as a focal point for them. Roughly close to Norway and mainland Europe, a coast with many hideouts and narrow streets in the city that you could duck into.

Great little place to visit and walk along, hard to get to the water though.

A long thin loch managed by the National Trust for Scotland as part of the St Abb's Head estate. The loch is formed in the fault line between the hard igneous rock at St Abb's Head and the softer sedimentary rock inland. It was a marshy area, but a small dam created around 1900 held the water back and created the loch. Now it's an important inland bird sanctuary.

Portmore Reservoir is a hidden gem with some beautiful landscape, forests, hills and glen walk towards Eddleston. Intermediate paths with some steep parts and steady footwear are recommended.

A beautiful reservoir hidden in the hills along the Thieves Road across Pentland Hills.

Beautiful photo ready views.

March Wood is a community woodland in the Yarrow Valley sitting on west the bank of St Mary’s loch and stretching along the fringe of Bowerhope Law and located along the Southern Upland Way. The woodland is shown on one of the earliest maps of Scotland, is situated where the old road from Selkirk to Moffat once was and may be a remnant of the ancient royal hunting ground – the Ettrick Forest.

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.

Loch of the Lowes is a picturesque loch right next to St Mary's Loch in the Scottish Borders. The road is very popular with bikers in the summer, who often meet at the café. The café is a welcome treat as there is no other refreshments for miles.

Eyemouth is a historic little fishing town 5 miles (8 km) north of the England/Scotland border. Fishing here dates back to the 13th century and the harbour remains active. As with many coastal communities, in the 18th century the town was a smuggling hotspot; dealing in the illicit trades of wine, spirits, tea and tobacco via a network of caves and underground tunnels. These days, there are plenty of places for food and drink in the town, shops, as well as accommodation.

Stunning views over the loch. Before and after the wooded section (you walk along the edge of the wood) there’s places to stop for a break.

On the east shore path there’s lots of places to rest and take in the views. Benches and grassy areas by the shore line. The first around 1km in and the next around 3.5km in. The walk takes you through fields with sheep in close proximity. Don’t forget your dog lead if you’re bringing your furry friend. Once past the first sheep field it’s safe to let dogs run off lead for the next 2k.

Bequeathed to the wider public and the people of the Selkirk county, the country house and estate that goes by the name of 'The Haining' dates back to the 1790s and was formerly owned by the Pringle family. You can now rent spaces in the gorgeous estate house for functions and events, and even stay on site in The Ettrick, a small holiday apartment. There are a number of artist studios in the outbuildings too. When walking or cycling through the estate, take your time to enjoy the beautiful Haining Loch. Recent forestry and groundworks mean that there's now a great map of trails to enjoy.

The place is beyond awesome.
