WE HIKED UP A WATERFALL | LOCH SKEEN, GREY MARES TAIL & MOFFAT HILLS | SCOTTISH BORDERS | 4K

On our first hike in the new year we went south to the Scottish borders with some beautiful views in the Moffat Hills. We ended up climbing Gray Mar's Tail. It’s easy to see how it got its name as you gaze at the tall, thin line of white frothing water. The waterfall, one of the UK’s highest, plunges 60m down into the Moffat Water Valley. At the top and feeding the waterfall lies Loch Skeen, home to Britain’s rarest freshwater fish, the vendace. We got down just in time to chase the moon on our way back home.
