Whiteadder Reservoir is situated deep within the heart of the Lammermuir Hills in East Lothian.
The reservoir was created as an additional source of drinking water for the county but after work was completed in 1968 it become a haven for wildlife as well as a popular location for fishing and water sports.
One of the best ways to experience Whiteadder Reservoir is by walking a circular route around Priestlaw Hill which borders the body of water on its southern side.
The Rob Roy Way is an 80-mile walking and cycling route between Drymen in Central Scotland and Pitlochry in Perthshire. This part of the route runs through the town of Callander to the village of Strathyre on attractive paths that border rivers, lochs, steep hills and open glens.
The trail is flat and level so it offers an enjoyable day out for all abilities and ages, but the more adventurous can take detours to enjoy the glassy expanse of Loch Lubnaig and the tumbling waters of the Falls of Leny before continuing on to a well-deserved drink at Lochearnhead.

The Pairc peninsula – also known as the Parish of Lochs – is situated on the southeast corner of the Isle of Lewis between Loch Eireasort and Loch Shiphoirt.
