    Tips

    The Talla Reservoir is an earth work dam which traps the Talla Water. It opened in 1905 to increase the water supplies for the expanding city of Edinburgh.

    The reservoir is on the quiet, hilly road that crosses the country between Tweedsmuir and St Mary's Loch. It's quite a climb from the reservoir up to the Megget Stone at the high point but well worth it for the views.
