Dunecht Estate Policy Loch dam Above and behind this dam is the man made Policy loch on the Dunecht estate. It has recently been revealed due to extensive cutting back of vegetation which partially hid it from view. The gargoyle outlet feeds a pond which in turn overflows into a stream which flows through the estate and eventually into the Loch of Skene to the east.
