Subject notes
There are now areas of coniferous woodland on the slopes around the loch. The loch is used for water storage, sailing and trout-fishing and the surrounding hills for forestry and sheep-farming. St Mary's Loch is connected to writers and poets. Sir Walter Scott set 'Marmion' there; William Wordsworth wrote 'Yarrow Visited'; and James Hogg, 'The Ettrick Shepherd', herded sheep nearby.
