The Loch of Skene is a sight of special scientific interest and is around 300 square acres partly man-made. Before 1905, water from the loch was used to turn the mill wheel for making tweed but in 1905, Garlogie tweed mill closed. Then it was used to generate electricity, but in 1951 the Hydro Board took over. The only kind of fish in the loch is pike and about 50 permits are given out each year for fishing in the loch. The Aberdeen sailing club now use the loch for yachting.
