This 10 mile stretch of the NCR7 south from Clatteringshaws Loch is well worth it - off road bike necessary though

Clatteringshaws Dam

Highlight • Viewpoint

Striking dam that creates Clattringshaws Loch. You can't walk along the dam or get too close to the loch from here but it's a great structure to look at.
