The loch is named after a church dedicated to St Mary which once stood on its northern shore. Located in the historic Ettrick Forest, the area was a strategic and turbulent spot during the Border Reivers period. James Hogg: Known as the " Ettrick Shepherd, " the poet and author was a frequent visitor to the area. William Wordsworth and Robert Louis Stevenson are among the other notable figures who were drawn to the loch's natural beauty.
