The loch was increased in size by the construction of a dam in 1796; the level was further raised in 1840, and partially rebuilt in 1991.[1] Loch Ardinning ReserveThe loch forms part of the Loch Ardinning Reserve, which is owned and managed by the Scottish Wildlife Trust.[1] The reserve was established in 1988, and covers 148 hectares. It is classified as a Category IV protected area by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.[2] The reserve covers the woodland surrounding the loch, and Muirhouse Muir. The carr woodland surrounding the loch provides a habitat for many species of plants that have become increasingly rare elsewhere in Scotland due to wetland drainage; of particular note is the presence of four species of orchid. Muirhouse Muir is the largest area of muir in the surrounding area, and provides a habitat for bird species such as curlew, snipe, red grouse, linnet, whinchat, stonechat, skylark, and grasshopper warbler.[3] References1. ^Loch Ardinning Reserve 2. ^{{cite web|url=https://protectedplanet.net/555624785|title=Loch Ardinning in United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland|publisher=Protected Planet|accessdate=2018-10-02}} 3. ^1 {{cite web|url=https://scottishwildlifetrust.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/027__108__reserve_leaflets__Loch_Ardinning_Wildlife_Reserve__1307102310.pdf|title=Welcome to Loch Ardinning Wildlife Reserve|publisher=Scottish Wildlife Trust|accessdate=2018-10-02}} 2 : Lochs of Stirling (council area)|Freshwater lochs of Scotland |
