Loch Arthur (also known as Loch Lotus) is a lake in the council area of Dumfries and Galloway in Scotland near the village of Beeswing.[1]

Loch Arthur lies to the east of the village of Beeswing and has been claimed as the setting for the Arthurian story of the Lady of the Lake.[5]
Prehistoric lake dwellings (crannogs) were formerly on this lake. A logboat and possible paddle have been found.[6]
Loch Arthur Camphill Community is a farm near the loch where people with disabilities, volunteers and staff produce organic cheese, butter and other foods.[7][8][9]
These are Auchenreoch Loch, which is a similar size to Milton Loch and lies around 1 km to the west, and Lochrutton Loch, Lochaber Loch and Loch Arthur, which are all slightly smaller than Milton Loch and are located around 5 km to the east and northeast.
