Not sure Dave , Ive never heard  anyone talk about it. Henry and Andrew who are on this forum are members of the Broch angling club so maybe they know.

Well it was when i was a kid so its years ago i'm talking about and if i remember it was quite overgrown then so perhaps its not open anymore.

The Fraserburgh Angling Club have not had the fishing on the Red Loch since 1985. The owner did stock the loch a couple of years after that for his own use. At one time it did have a population of brown trout, but the inlet burn was diverted, bypassing the loch in the 1970's when the forestry plantation was planted and they died out in the early 1980's. It is now fishless.

G Ritchie, 1985 that shows how long ago it is since i was there and as i said it was quite overgrown at that time.

I noticed on the satalite image that there are a couple of small lochs/ponds nearer memsie on the broch/strichen road on your left going to strichen you know anything about them?

There is a wee loch in Strichen country park , It has  brown Trout and I also think its stocked , there is a boat , but I'm pretty sure its reerved for residents of Strichen.

They were built by the owner of the nearby house for his own use.

Jim,

My parents still stay in strichen and i left there 8 years ago so i guess i could pose as a resident

Would that be the old Rynde block plant beside the old railway line your talking about

Will have to do some ground work on this one.
