Loch Trool

Loch Trool is a freshwater loch in Kirkcudbrightshire, within the Galloway Forest Park. It is a ribbon of a loch lying in Glen Trool.

The Water of Trool has its source as the outflow of the loch; the Trool flows to the Water of Minnoch and the Cree.

The loch was the location, in 1307, of the Battle of Glen Trool. Bruce's Stone stands in monument to the battle.

Loch Trool is also reported to be the darkest place in the UK at night.
