Starting and finishing at the carpark at point B. Lots of helpful signage now so very little on the actual A708. Footpaths alongside.
Absolutely brilliant weather for breathtaking scenery in the beautiful Scottish Boarders. St Marys Loch is a 13 k loop but we added the view from the hill above the St Marys graveyard ( because of the nice day and we got a bit lost on the way down so don't follow that bit) theres a great cafe at the end where you get the most freindly welcome and superb coffee)
