Dungeon, Dry, Round, and Long Lochs of the, three neighbouring lakes of W Kirkcudbrightshire, the first lying on the mutual border of Carsphairn and Minnigaff parishes, and the two last in the N of Minnigaff. Their measurements and altitude above sea-level are- Dry Loch (1 x 1 furl.; 1075 feet), Round Loch (2 x 1 furl.; 910 feet), and Long Loch (21/3 x 1 furl.; 900 feet). Dry Loch, at the `divide' between the Firth of Clyde and the Solway Firth, sends off its effluence partly northward by Gala Lane to Loch Doon, partly southward by a burn that traverses the other two to Cooran Lane, and so to the Dee; and all three abound in small Trout.Ord. Sur., sh. 8, 1863.
