Loch A' Bharain (the Baron's Loch) is an impounding reservoir which sits directly on the north bank of the Crinan Canal beside lock No.9, 1.5 kilometres west of Cairnbaan, and is one of a number of reservoirs supplying water to the canal. The earthfill dam is 5.6 metres high and was constructed before 1801.
