What is recorded here
Castle Loch is a shallow freshwater loch in Lochmaben where ruined castle walls still watch the water and pink-footed geese arrive to overwinter. It is not merely a local pond; the Ramsar Convention recognises it as a wetland of international importance. The loch belongs to both memory and migration, a place where human pride and distant birds share the same quiet surface.
