Loch Katrine scheme (Muylle Id=3): The intake compound or structure for channelling water into the reservoir, is 'sunk' into the E end of Loch Arklet. There is a valve on the inlet sluice to control the flow that is similar in design to the intakes at Royal Cottage. The compound fencing and gates are of typical Glasgow Corporation Waterworks design.
