Halket Loch
Halket Loch (locally pronounced 'Whoreket'), also known as Halkhead or Halketh,〔 was situated in the mid-Ayrshire clayland near Lugton. It is visible as a surface depression in pastureland, sometimes partially flooded, situated in a low lying area close to farms and dwellings of East, North and Middle Halket and Craighead in the Parish of Dunlop, East Ayrshire, Scotland. The loch was natural, sitting in a hollow created by glaciation. The loch waters drained via the Glazert Water that joins the Annick Water.
==History==
Gabriel Porterfield and his wife Jean Maxwell had a conjunct liferent of 'Halketh' and its loch on a charter of Robert Montgomerie of Hessilhead, dated 24 May 1634.〔Paterson, Page 236〕 In 1648 the loch was held by John Porterfield of Hapland, as heir to his father Gabriel.〔Paterson, Page 237〕 The loch was later inherited by his brother Alexander on 5 October 1653. The lands and Loch of Halket later lay within the Barony of Robertland as recorded by a charter under the Great Seal of 8 July 1676.〔Dobie, Page 205〕 Blaeu's map of 1654, based on Timothy Pont's work of the late 16th century, shows a 'Halkhead Loch', with a single property, Halkhead, nearby.
Halket was a post-glacial loch and lies beneath the prominent hill known as Craighead Law. Thomson's map of 1832 refers to the loch as 'Hawkhead'.〔(Thomson's Map ) Retrieved : 2011-01-08〕 Lochridgehills Farm, with its descriptive and indicative placename, lies near to shoreline at the site of the old Halket Loch.〔(Lochridgehills Farm ) Retrieved ; 2011-01-08〕〔Love, Page 94〕
