Clevens Loch, Ayrshire : ウィキペディア英語版 | Clevens Loch, Ayrshire Clevens Loch was a substantial freshwater loch situated in a low lying area below Clevance Farm and Langholm Farm in Dundonald parish, South Ayrshire, Scotland. ==History== The loch was a natural feature, a post-glacial 'Kettle Hole' once of a substantial extent, fed mainly by the Rumbling Burn, rainfall, field drainage, and natural springs. It is recorded in the placename of Langholm and clevance. The etymology of the name may derive from the Scots for 'spear-shaped hill' referring to the shape of the glen and hills surrounding it.〔Gillespie, Page 114〕 The Rumbling Burn has been diverted away from the site. The loch site still floods in winter. An outflow runs down to the Cross Burn. Langholm Farm's name translates from Scots as a long stretch of low-lying land beside water;〔(Scots Dictionary ) Retrieved : 2011-04-17〕 it is not recorded on maps until after the loch was drained.〔(Thomson's Map of 1828 ) retrieved : 2011-04-17〕 The lands, variously known as 'Kleffans' in 1654, 'Clevens' in 1747, 'Clivens' in 1828, 'Cleavance' in 1865 and 'Clevance' in 1890.
