Castle Loch is a shallow freshwater loch in Lochmaben where ruined castle walls still watch the water. Pink-footed geese and goosanders return there to overwinter, proving the loch remains vital to living creatures long after human grandeur faded. The castle may have fallen, but the loch kept its purpose: feeding, hiding, and sustaining life through every harsh Scottish winter.
