abstract: Butterstone Loch (SSSI, SPA) and Lindores Loch (SSSI) are both designated sites that are
utilised as sports fisheries, and have, historically, been stocked with fish. There are
proposals to re-stock the lochs during autumn 2009. The aim of this research project was to
supply data to assist Scottish Natural Heritage in its role of advising on the impacts of the
proposed fish introductions to the open water interests of the two sites.
The report details the findings of a multi-proxy palaeoecological study of sediment cores
collected from the lochs in 2009 and includes analyses of diatoms, Cladocera and plant
macrofossils. The study aimed to determine the baseline floral and faunal assemblages and
assess ecological change over the last few hundred years. Where possible, any relationship
between the observed shifts and historic fish stocking of the lochs was explored.
