Why we love Grey Mare’s Tail Nature Reserve
Where, deep deep down, and far within.
Toils with the rocks the roaring linn;
Then, issuing forth one foamy wave,
And wheeling round the giant’s grave,
White as the snowy charger’s tail
Drives down the pass of Moffatdale.
(Excerpt from Marmion, Walter Scott)
As you venture beyond the fifth highest waterfall in Scotland, the secrets of this landscape gradually unfold to reveal a spectacular mountain loch, precious restored peatland and breathtaking views across the Moffat Valley.
We are very grateful for the support of NatureScot and the Tweed Forum on our peatland restoration work.
