Took a quick spin round Tweedbank Pond, calling it a Loch makes it seem far more impressive than it is, but I mean there's birds to look at and... yup... Train station nearby, a local shop, Herges bar/restaurant with big windows so you can sit and watch the birds and wee fountain from and it's just a short walk over to Abbotsford (the home of Sir Walter Scott).
"There is a small wooded island in the loch, which provides a home for ducks and swans, the latter began breeding on the loch in 1992. Fishing was banned on the loch ten years later to protect birdlife from being killed by discarded fishing line" (from scottish-places.info)
