Lussa Loch is an artificial reservoir in Kintyre, Scotland, roughly 8 km north of Campbeltown.[1]
It was constructed between 1947 and 1956 by damming the Strathduie Water, as part of a larger hydroelectric scheme in Kintyre.[2] The damming submerged one farm (Gobagrennan), and caused another (Stramollach) to be abandoned.[3]
The loch's name may derive from the same Scottish Gaelic root as the village of Luss in Argyll and Bute, luibh meaning "herb".
Loch Lussa has a large stock of brown and rainbow trout, and Kintyre Angling Club holds angling competitions on the loch.[4] [5]
The Kintyre Way runs along a small road on the loch's western shore.
