LochinvarA small loch in Dumfries and Galloway, Lochinvar lies in the hills to the east of The Glenkens, 3 miles (5 km) northeast of St John's Town of Dalry. The Lochinvar Burn flows south towards the Water of Ken and on an islet in the loch stand the ruins of a former stronghold of the Gordons of Lochinvar, one of whom was featured as 'Young Lochinvar' in Lady Heron's song in Sir Walter Scott's 'Marmion'.
