Kinder, Loch, a lake in Newabbey parish, SE Kirkcudbrightshire, at the NE base of Criffel (1867 feet), 1 mile S of Newabbey village. Lying 100 feet above sea-level, it has an utmost length and breadth of 6 ¼ and 2 ¼ furlongs; receives Glen Burn, and sends off Drum Burn 17/8 mile south-eastward to the) Solway Firth; abounds in fine trout, of nearly ½ lb. weight; and contains 2 islets, the smaller an artificial crannoge or pile-built lake-dwelling, the larger the site of the ancient parish church. The estate around it was called from it Lochkinder, and gave either that name or the similar one of Lochindoloch to the parish now called Newabbey.—Ord. Sur., shs. 5, 6, 1857-63.
