Grey Mare's Tail, Nature reserve with waterfall near Moffat, Scotland.
The Grey Mare's Tail waterfall drops 60 meters from Loch Skeen through a steep-sided valley formed by glacial erosion millions of years ago.
The area contains evidence of Iron Age settlements, and Watch Knowe served as a surveillance point for Covenanters during the 17th century religious conflicts.
The site holds geological importance as a hanging valley and maintains protected status through the National Trust for Scotland conservation efforts.
The reserve features a 2.7-mile walking trail from the car park to Loch Skeen, requiring approximately two hours to complete the moderate difficulty path.
Loch Skeen contains a population of vendace, recognized as the rarest freshwater fish species in Britain.
