Before the dam-building activities up at Loch Doon, the area around Bogton Loch and further down the river was very boggy. Now Bogton Loch is a protected site of special scientific interest and supports significant populations of birds.

Bogton Loch
This view of Bogton Loch was taken from approximately the same position as the view of Craigengillan House, but looking downstream towards Dalmellington.

Craigengillan House
Craigengillan House lies betwenn the North end of Loch Doon and Dalmellington.
The Estate has been in existence since 1611, owned by the McAdam family, original family surname MacGregor, although the house was substantially redesigned in 1765 and has been modified several times since.
Possibly one of the most notable members of the family was John {Tar} McAdam, due to his work on road construction.
