Can you believe it has been 8 years since the the communities of Lochmaben, Royal Four Towns and Templand decided to purchase Castle Loch? Where do the years go? To mark the 8th anniversary we've produced a short leaflet outlining the story and achievements to date - download here www.castleloch.org.uk/.
The slideshow has a few photos spanning the last 8 years, from the first volunteers session in 2014 to the recent opening of the new woodland path, and lots of things in between.
If you would like to support the Trust's work (become a member, make a donation, come and volunteer), then please do visit www.castleloch.org.uk/getting-involved/
