DUNSAPIE
LOCH
Artificially formed during the construction of the Queen's Drive, this
resevoir is home to many varieties of wildfowl including greylag geese,
mute swans, mallard/tufted duck, coots and pochard.
It
is evident that the water supply here must have been consistent, in view
of the nature of the ground and the presence of springs.
There is no natural vegetation, hence the floating islands in the centre
of the loch, which provide habitation for breeding birds.
There
are remains of a 2000 year old fort and a farm-stead on dunsapie hill
overlooking the loch.
