context_section_description: Robert Gordon's map of circa marks the castle of Cars (sic) near the loch. The Blaeu map of circa 1654 taken from Timothy Pont's map of circa 1600 shows Cars Castle (sic) with substantial grounds and woodland. Molls map of 1745 shows the castle lying to the east of the loch. Roy's map of 1747 records the castle as Carse, again located to the east of the loch. In 1821 the loch is clearly shown and 'Kerse' is shown towards the Sundrum Water. In 1832 Thomson's map shows a 'Carse' dwelling on a road to the east.
