The Pot Loch

Highlight • Viewpoint

A lovely little loch quite literally straight out of Selkirk, with the views of Selkirk Hills to the east of you. Apparently, in this loch up to 1,000 birds roost at dusk in the reeds here!

Selkirk Hills Pond and Wetland

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Selkirk Hills area is managed by the community, with several paths maintained here. It's a lovely, green walk amongst gentle hills, and includes a rather gorgeous, marshy, left-to-be-a-bit-wild pond.

Shawmount to St Helens Lane

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

A simple lane or path, you might say, but with absolutely astonishing views of the hills. To the north, you will see here past River Tweed, including Rink Hill a few miles away.
