Sunset Loch of Skene XPL 4601-433
The Loch of Skene is a loch in Aberdeenshire, Scotland some 9 miles (14 km) west of the city of Aberdeen, near the Kirkton of Skene village. It is designated as a Special Protection Area for wildlife conservation purposes. Skene (Gaelic: Sgainn) is a small farming community in North East Scotland some 10 km west of Aberdeen. The two traditional villages are Kirkton of Skene and Lyne of Skene. As the name suggests, Kirkton is still the location of Skene Parish Church. Lyne means 'glade' or 'enclosure'. However, the main concentration of population is further east at the new settlements of Westhill and Elrick, both of which are built around ancient hamlets. Loch of Skene, an artificial lake, is home to the Aberdeen and Stonehaven Yachting Club.
