Background
Description
Blaeu's map of circa 1654 taken from Timothy Pont's map of circa 1600 shows Loch Luy and nearby the dwelling of Kar Cluy. In 1821 the farm was recorded as Kirklewy, but no loch shown. In 1832 Thomson's map shows a small loch at Carcluie. In the 1870s, the OS map shows the loch as roughly oval in shape, covering an area of 0.709 hectares (1.752 acres). The loch is fed by the Carcluie Burn and another burn running down the hill from near the railway, with its outflow leading toward Broomberry.
