Notice - Gladhouse Reservoir
PLEASE NOTE:
GLADHOUSE RESERVOIR, MIDLOTHIAN
This reservoir has had much pressure from water-users over the past two years,
mainly from paddle-boarders from the immediate surrounding area, and Edinburgh.
The following has been instituted by Scottish Water, the land-owners;
- Vehicle and people access on the south side has been barred totally, but the
hill-walkers car park is still open.
- There is now a Clearway all round the reservoir, apart from a short distance
on the south-western end. Drivers parking on this clearway have received
tickets from the Police.
- The kerbside parking extends for some 300m at present, entailing a walk for
people with water-craft. A permanent car park is due to be built by Scottish
Water.
- The land on the west side, the only area open to the public near to parking, is
now seriously contaminated with human waste, and is a health hazard. You
are advised to keep well away.
- Scottish Water intends to invest in the reservoir surroundings in the future to
make it more pleasant for visitors
-The reservoir is currently (end of August 2022), at an historically very low
level due to the drought
