Loch A' Bharain (the Baron's Loch) is an impounding[1] reservoir which sits directly on the north bank of the Crinan Canal beside lock No.9, 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) west of Cairnbaan, and is one of a number of reservoirs supplying water to the canal. The earthfill[1] dam is 5.6 metres (18 ft)[1] high and was constructed before 1801.[1]
