Loch Arklet dam from the slopes of Beinn a' Choin

---

Loch Arklet is a small loch lying between Loch Katrine to the east and Loch Lomond to the west. The peak of Ben Lomond, with a touch of snow, can just be seen above the ridge on the far side of the loch. Loch Arklet Dam was commissioned for the Corporation of Glasgow and built in 1909-1914 by JR Sutherland, engineer and Charles Brand & Son, contractors. It is 350 yards long and made of concrete faced with red freestone from Annan. It is 35ft high and 11ft wide at the top. The level of Loch Arklet was raised by the building of the dam in 1914, and it feeds Loch Katrine which supplies Glasgow with its water.
