lochinvar

     

Lochinvar (or Lan Var) is a lake in Scotlan that is now a reservoir. It nestles in the hills of Dumfries and Galloway to the north-east of St. John's Town of Dalry. It is drained by the Lochinvar Burn, which flows south to the Water of Ken. The ruins of a castle stand on a now submerged islet within the loch. The islet was submerged when the loch's level was raised as part of a project to supply drinking water in the late 1970s.
