Buiston Loch

Buiston Loch (NS 416 433) (locally pronounced ),〔Crone, Page 1〕 also known as Buston, Biston, and Mid Buiston was situated in the mid-Ayrshire clayland at an altitude of 90 m OD. It is visible as an often flooded surface depression in pastureland situated in a low lying area close to the A735 road between the farms and dwellings of Lochside, Buistonend and Mid-Buiston in the Parishes of Kilmaurs and Stewarton, East Ayrshire, Scotland. The loch was natural, sitting in a hollow created by glaciation. The loch waters drained via the Garrier Burn that joins the Bracken and Lochridge Burns before joining the River Irvine. It is well documented through the presence of a crannog first excavated 1880-1 and then documented by Mr. D. McNaught,〔McNaught, Page 40〕 Dr R. Munro and others.〔Arch Hist Coll, Page 19〕
==History==

Blaeu's map of 1654, based on Timothy Pont's work of the late 16th century, shows a substantial triangular-shaped loch recorded as 'Buston L',〔 however by the mid-eighteenth century the loch appears to have been drained. The Garrier Burn is marked on Thomson's map of 1828, however it has been canalised and field drains added by the time of the first Ordnance Survey of the mid 19th century, presumably as part of an improved drainage system.〔Crone, Page 11〕 Around 1830 the loch was described by a Mr Hay as being a mossy bog in the summer and a sheet of water throughout the winter and by 1880 a ''richly cultivated meadow''.〔 The site had been further drained around the year 1875.〔
Buiston was a post-glacial loch,〔Crone, Page 10〕 on the lands of the farm known as Mid-Buiston, for many years the property of the Earls of Eglinton,〔Arch Ayr Coll, Page 19〕 and was at first believed to be a structure built by the Earls of Eglinton to house a shelter for shooting waterfowl.〔McNaught, Page 40〕 Evidence of the original shoreline persists on the northern side of the loch basin.〔
The early Ordnance Survey maps and written descriptions show the site as fully drained and under cultivation,〔〔(NLS Maps ) Retrieved : 2011-01-04〕 however drainage is now inadequate (2011) and the area is becoming re-established as a seasonal loch.〔(Google Maps ) Retrieved : 2011-01-04〕
