Loch Soy was once a larger stretch of water than it is today and was created by a dam for a now defunct mill. Parts of the loch were drained so that the attractive park area of today could be formed.

There are many things to do at Loch Soy during the summer, with children’s paddle boats available, as well as the beautiful surroundings to enjoy whilst eating a picnic, or having fun on the putting green.
