015.01 | "Barr Loch is so well drained, that it has the appearance of a loch only during a heavy fall of rain in winter. In summer it waves with the most luxuriant crop of oats and hay" New Stat Acct. [New Statistical Account] For the purpose of draining this loch, about the year 1800, Mr. McDowall had an embankent made around it. James Adam, Esq W.S, [Writer to the Signet] in 1813, got the Barr Loch into his possession. He improved and strengthened the embankment, and at great expense so effectually drained the loch, that only during the winter months it is covered with water. It is now in possession of Col: [Colonel] McDowall. See Account of the drainage of Barr Loch & adjoining land by James Adam Esq: in the Highland Society's agricultural journal No.6. for further information. The embankent is shown on traces, and all the land which it encloses at one time formed the Barr Loch __ |

Ordnance Survey - Renfrew county
Ordnance Survey was established in the 18th century to create maps, surveys and associated records for the entirety of Great Britain. These records are arranged by county. This entry has been created to enable searching for Ordnance Survey records for the county of Renfrew, which is in the west of Scotland. The boundaries of the county were altered by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891.
