NS3779 : Stream flowing towards Poachy Glen

taken 15 years ago, near to Alexandria, West Dunbartonshire, Scotland

Stream flowing towards Poachy Glen
Stream flowing towards Poachy Glen
This is a view downstream, as the water cascades through the woods for a short distance before joining the Poachy Burn.

Almost all of the water in this stream presently comes from the overflow at Carman Reservoir. From the point of overflow at Carman Reservoir (NS3778 : Overflow from Carman Reservoir), the water is diverted underground for a distance of 150 metres, and, where it emerges again (NS3778 : Stream flowing towards Poachy Glen), it is joined by another, much weaker stream.

Given how deep and well-established this stream's channel is (as shown in this photograph), it seems likely that the present overflow exploits a stream channel that existed when Carman Reservoir was simply Carman Loch; that stream was perhaps the natural channel for overflow from the loch.

For the view upstream from near this point, see NS3779 : Stream flowing towards Poachy Glen.
