    Tips

    Running

    The Glencorse Reservoir is held back by an earth dam built in the early 1820's. The water was used to power the mills downstream and provide drinking water to Edinburgh and the surrounding area.
    Running the access road around the northern shore is pretty and allows a few miles of easy underfoot terrain while running in the Pentland Hills.

    Running

    Smooth, rolling road along the reservoir. Good Lakeside views, especially at dawn.
