Fail Loch
Fail Loch was situated in a low lying area near the old monastery of Fail in the Parish of Tarbolton, South Ayrshire, Scotland. The old Lochlea Loch lies nearby and its waters still feed into Fail Loch via the Mill Burn.
==History==
The loch is recorded as 'Valle' in 1307,〔(Lochlea ) Retrieved : 2011-02-16〕 and 'Feil'〔(Blaeu's Map ) Retrieved : 2011-02-016〕 in the 17th century. Feill' (1732), 'Faill' or 'Ffele' are further names recorded for the site.〔Paterson, V.II, Page 756〕 Paterson states that the loch once surrounded the Fail Monastery so that it sat on an island.〔Paterson, Page 760〕 The surviving portion of the seasonal loch is located to the north of the old monastery site.〔Love, Pages 209-210〕
Shaw relates in the 1950s that ''Lochlee, Fail Loch and Tarbolton Loch are no longer so full of water as when they were required to supply water for the meal mills, and gave good skating and curling in a hard winter. They are now to a large extent drained away, but are still the haunt of snipe, goose, duck, and swan.''〔Smith, Page 60〕
