Old Photograph Earlston Linn Scotland

Old photograph of a salmon leaping at Earlston Linn on the Water of Ken near Dalry in North Ayrshire, Scotland. The Water of Ken rises on Blacklorg Hill, north east of Cairnsmore of Carsphairn in the Carsphairn hills, and flows south westward into the Glenkens valley, passing through Carsfad and Earlstoun lochs, both of which are dammed to supply the Galloway Hydro Electric Scheme. From there, the river flows south, passing St. John's Town of Dalry and New Galloway, before widening to form the eleven mile long Loch Ken.
