The Ettrick and Yarrow Community Development Company has announced that it is "planning a guided walk from Ettrick to St. Mary's Loch to mark 200 years since Confessions was published with a stop at Cowan's Croft, the possible location of the 'Suicide's Grave.'"
The walk will be held on Saturday, July 20th, 2024. Participants will meet at, and leave from, Honey Cottage in Ettrick at 11:00 a.m. "Lifts from the Loch will be provided back to Ettrick. Feel free to bring along a picnic." This will be a 2-3 hour walk with free views." The walk will finish inside Tibbie Shiels Inn for refreshments and hopefully some readings.
All donations made will go to "the upkeep of the James Hogg Exhibition."
