We will glimpse the historic Tibbie Shiels Inn, see the statue of shepherd-poet James Hogg, and take in a number of other sites of historical importance
This is a circular walk on well worn paths that include a small section of the Southern Upland Way. St Mary's Loch is situated in the beautiful Yarrow valley and as we walk along the shore we will be able to see a selection of art works that were created especially for the loch.
The grassy paths and tracks may be muddy, depending on the weather, so good walking boots are recommended. The minibus will return us to Moffat.
Top tip this is an all-day walk so you may wish to bring a packed lunch.
This is Bob...
Bob has been walking most of his life and has covered many of Britain’s long-distance routes. Over 30 years ago, he walked the Southern Upland Way and discovered Moffat. While living in southeast England, he led a walking group for eight years. He visited Moffat every year and then retired in the town four years ago. He joined the Moffat Ramblers (now disbanded) and was elected president. He is now a member of the Dumfries Ramblers and occasionally leads and submits routes to the group.
