My wife and I discovered this wonderful location totally by accident. Saw a sign off the picturesque A702 and thought we would check it out by traveling up a very narrow road for a mile or so.
There is also a nature trail around the lake showing local habitat ( 2 miles approx) and great picture opps.  Magical!
We drove down this scenic valley from Wanlockhead Village on the B797 alongside the almost empty river bed.
Signs along the river reminded visitors that these were the spawning grounds for salmon and not to lift the stones out of the river.

Formerly granite quarrying was an important part of the Dalbeattie economy. The industry died down locally around 1883 due to cheaper imports from Denmark.

Many of the workers emigrated to other parts of the world in order to find work, a number emigrated to the United States to work at a sister quarry in Westerly, Rhode Island. Granite exported from Dalbeattie went into the Mersey Docks in Liverpool, the Thames Embankment in London, various British lighthouses, even as far as the lighthouse at the southern tip of Ceylon (Sri Lanka). 

Dalbeattie is credited with developing the technique of polishing granite stone to form a shiny surface. This technique was exported throughout the world by the skilled workers of Dalbeattie as they travelled.
