Yetholm Loch is a loch near Kelso, in the Scottish Borders area of Scotland, in the former Roxburghshire.[1]
There was a tower on an island in Yetholm Loch which could be reached via a causeway. The tower was destroyed by the Earl of Surrey on the night of 17 May 1523.[2]
The loch lies in a crescent-shaped valley, at the edge of the Cheviot Hills. The southern end of the loch is swamp, but it gradually gives way to fen and willow scrub.
