It lies immediately north of the Loch of Stenness and is close to the World Heritage neolithic sites of the Stones of Stenness and Ring of Brodgar.[3] In Old Norse its name was Heraðvatn.[4] HydrologyThe loch was surveyed[1] on 21 August 1903 by Sir John Murray and later charted [5] as part of the Bathymetrical Survey of Fresh-Water Lochs of Scotland 1897-1909. Murray observed that Loch of Harray is a freshwater loch, the largest in all Orkney with an area of approximately {{convert|3.75|mi2|km2|abbr=off}} and volume of {{convert|951000000|ft3|km3}} and that it is somewhat influenced by the tides in the Hoy Sound although there is little variation in its level. The loch is connected to the Loch of Stenness at the Bridge of Brodgar.[6] The two lochs together cover an area of {{convert|19.3|km2|mi2|abbr=off}} making the two combined the ninth largest loch in Scotland by area (as listed by Murray and Pullar (1910)). Murray recorded that despite there being an inlet allowing the free flow of water from the Loch of Stenness it has little impact on the biology of Harray and no seaweed was present, the water tasted fresh and normal freshwater plankton were seen. [7] Natural historyThe loch is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and has a large number of pondweed species three of which are scarce, a rare caddis fly (Ylodes reuteri) and is the only known site in Scotland for a nerite snail Theodoxus fluviatilis which is more commonly found in English rivers. A wide variety of wildfowl winter at the loch including pochard, tufted duck, scaup and goldeneye.[8][9] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 {{cite web |url=http://maps.nls.uk/bathymetric/text.cfm?seq=1503|title=Bathymetrical Survey of the Fresh-Water Lochs of Scotland, 1897-1909, Lochs of Orkney|website=National Library of Scotland |accessdate=2013-07-29}} 2. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.orkney.gov.uk/Service-Directory/S/Sites-of-Special-Scientific-Interest-SSSI.htm#lochharray|title=Sites of Special Scientific Interest-SSSI, Orkney, Loch of Harray|website=Orkney Island Council|accessdate=2013-07-29}} 3. ^{{cite web |url=http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/514|title=World Heritage List - Heart of Neolithic Orkney|author= |date=|website=World Heritage Convention, UNESCO|accessdate=2013-08-04}} 4. ^Pedersen, Roy (January 1992) Orkneyjar ok Katanes (map, Inverness, Nevis Print) 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://maps.nls.uk/bathymetric/view/?sid=74400546 |title=View, Lochs of Stenness, Harray and Bosquoy - Bathymetrical Survey, 1897-1909 - National Library of Scotland|website=National Library of Scotland|publisher=|date= |accessdate=2013-07-29}} 6. ^"Lochs of Harray and StennessSite of Special Scientific Interest" Midas 1083.
