River Doon

Its course is generally north-westerly, passing near to the town of Dalmellington, and through the villages of Patna,[1] Dalrymple, and Alloway, birthplace of Robert Burns.

In the 1930s Loch Doon was dammed to provide water to the Galloway Hydro Electric Scheme, today operated by Scottish Power.

The river is also the major setting for his lesser-known poem "The Banks O' Doon".

The river flows north from the loch through Ness Glen, a densely forested gorge.
