Burn of Hoglinns and its man made counterpart The natural burn on the left joins the Burn of Greenheads just north of the square. However, looking at the dam arrangement slightly upstream when the flow is high enough some of the flow is diverted into a man made channel which sends the water to Heldale Water. Heldale water would seem to be the holding reservoir on Hoy. Someone is bound to know better.

Hoglinns Water Some of the outflow from the loch is diverted into Heldale water, so I assume that used for water supply.
