The most major change brought about by the construction of the Loch Doon Gunnery School in 1916 was the raising of the level of the loch by 6 feet (1.8m) by the construction of a hydro-electric dam at its northern outlet at Bridge of Ness, intended to provide power to the school. The loch was already dammed and controlled (by sluices shown on the 1909 1:2500 OS 2nd edition map). This dam was replaced by a far higher dam in 1936.
