Loch of Skene is a large lowland, freshwater loch in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It lies approximately to the west of the village of Kirkton of Skene and west of Aberdeen.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Skene, Loch of )〕 The loch is partially man-made being dammed at its outflow on the southern shore to form a reservoir. Before 1905, water from the loch was used in the making of tweed and to turn the mill wheel at the Garlogie Mills. When the mills closed in 1905 the water was used to generate electricity.〔 ==Flora and fauna== The loch is designated as a Special Protection Area, a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a Ramsar site for wildlife conservation purposes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Special Protection Area designation )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Citation - Loch of Skene Site of Special Scientific Interest )〕 The loch supports concentrations of wildfowl in autumn and winter in particular greylag geese, goldeneye ducks and pink-footed geese. Common gulls are also found on the loch. Reedbed and a birch and willow carr fringe the loch perimeter. Pike are found in the loch and a permit is required for fishing.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Loch of Skene」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
