From the Wikipedia article
Clatteringshaws Loch is a freshwater reservoir in the historical county of The Stewartry of Kirkcudbright in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. It was created by damming the Galloway River Dee as part of the Galloway Hydro Electric Scheme. The Forestry Commission used to maintain a visitors' centre by the loch to welcome visitors to Galloway Forest Park, however it is now permanently closed.
