 James Hogg
Scottish poet, known as the "Ettrick Shepherd", was baptized at Ettrick in Selkirkshire on the 9th of December 1770.
He returned to Ettrick, only to find that he could not even obtain employment as a shepherd; so he set off in February 1810 to push his fortune in Edinburgh as a literary adventurer.
His fame had seemed to fill the whole district, and was brightest at its close; his presence was associated with all the border sports and festivities; and as a man James Hogg was ever frank, joyous and charitable.

 The Borders Forest Trust, Ettrick Valley and Yarrow Valley, Scottish Borders UK
In 1995, WWF Scotland commissioned a review to determine the status of flood-plain forests within Scotland; this identified the haughland of the Upper Ettrick as one of the best-developed areas of flood-plain habitat and as an area that offered great potential for restoration and expansion.
The River Ettrick is active in relation to a shifting and dynamic watercourse with gravel bar formation, ox bow siltation and bank undercutting.
The restoration of the Ettrick Marshes flood-plain possesses the potential to rank as one of the best examples of forest floodplain in Scotland and so attract interested parties.
