The lodges around the loch are open to visitors. The first steamboat sailed on Dalswinton loch in 1788 and it is said that Robert Burns was a passenger on the one and only voyage. Robert Burns wrote some of his most memorable work in Dumfries. He wrote Auld Lang Syne here and there are many places to visit which celebrate historical connections with him.
