Cartographic evidenceBlaeu's Atlas of Scotland, 1654 shows a 'Hilhos Loch' lying between Hilhous (Hillhouse) and Whythil (Whitehill) in the baillary of Kyle, with a single outflow running into the Little Sorn Burn near Little Sorn. The estate policies of Cessnock and Carnell are shown to the west of the roughly circular loch.[1] In 1857 the dwelling at Lochhouse is shown with a major ditch running down from the site of the loch and the stump of the original outflow and confluence with the Little Sorn Burn.[2] The 1895 6" OS map shows a Lochhouse, abandoned by 1910 and now demolished, on the course of a major drain running down from the site of the loch down towards the Little Sorn Burn. A track ran up to Hillhouse Farm from the dwelling at Lochhouse.[3] The satellite image of ploughed fields shows anaerobic soil markings typical of loch beds, etc. The loch shore formed part of the boundary of the Parish of Riccarton.[4] The 1971 OS map indicates the remnants of the loch as an enclosed marshy area, probably that retained for curling, drained through ditches leading down to the Little Sorn Burn.[5] {{Location map|UK Scotland |relief = 1 |label = Whitehill Loch |position = Right |lat = 55.570612 |long = -4.387913 |mark = |caption = The location of Whitehill Loch, East Ayrshire |width = 150 }} UsesCurling is recorded on Whitehill Loch, namely Loudoun v Tarbolton, on 25 February 1830.[6] Craigmill Mill was located further down the Cessnock Water but does not appear to have been powered by the loch's waters. Micro-historyThe loch was drained for agriculture well before the nearby lochs of Bruntwood and Brown, last being recorded clearly circa 1654. The loch was drained through a culvert that was later converted to a pipe. Views of Whitehill Loch siteSee also
