Moffat Loop Route

By James Simpson | on February 4, 2011 | 2 Comments
Scotland

This route provides a dramatic route across the Southern Uplands of Scotland. For most of its length it follows rivers, from the west successively the Moffat Water in Dumfriesshire and the Little Yarrow, the Yarrow Water and the Ettrick Water in Selkirkshire. The Yarrow Water is the outflow from St Mary’s Loch, which the road runs beside for several miles. When not beside water the route is through its highest ground, the summit being over 1000 feet above sea level at the county boundary.

    Did this last year anti-clockwise. The first part of it out of Moffat is quite entertaining – I had to overtake four foreign camper vans. The A72 is a bit dull but you can actually shorten the loop using the B roads.
