Looking upstream in the direction of the sluice house. An Act of Parliament in 1827 allowed the digging of the four-mile Cut from Findatie where the River Leven flows from the loch. Resultantly, industries downstream received a more reliable flow of water and extra land was freed-up for agricultural use.
