Hogganfield

Hogganfield Loch is now part of a public park and bird sanctuary - the rare Jack Snipe as it travels from Siberia has been seen in the park.

Snipe Loch

The name could appropriately refer to the bird, Snipe, Lymnocryptes minimus, however in Scots the word can refer to a featureless place, lacking significant characteristics, something long and thin, or a boggy place.
