    Tips

    January 28, 2024

    If you are looking for a peaceful retreat to enjoy nature, you might want to visit Gartmorn Dam Country Park and Nature Reserve near Sauchie. It is the oldest reservoir in Scotland and covers an area of 370 acres. You can walk, cycle, horse ride or fish around the 170 acre reservoir, which has fine views over Clackmannanshire and the Firth of Forth. You can also spot red squirrels and migratory wildfowl in the park, which is a Site of Special Scientific Interest. The dam was built by Sir John Erskine, the 6th Earl of Mar, in 1700 to power the pumps for his coal mines. It also provided water for Alloa's industrial development, especially the breweries. There is a cafe, free parking and wheelchair access at the park.
