사우스 스코틀랜드‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 호수

In calm weather, the loch is a beautiful, mirror-like feature nestled between low hills. Swimming is potentially dangerous because the water level is regulated and cold undercurrents develop. On the shore is the basic but pleasant Tibbie Shiels Inn campsite. Across the road is a bikers' café where hikers are also welcome.

Absolutely gorgeous reservoir, great to cycle by, or to stop and enjoy your ride-food while looking at the water.

Stunning views. Path gets very gravelly so care needed if you are less experienced off-road

Gladhouse Reservoir is just a short drive from Edinburgh and just to the west of the Moorfoot Hills. This peaceful wildlife haven offers visitors great hiking and cycling opportunities. This back-lane road section is no exception. This is a good connecting section between the Gladhouse Plantation on the west side of the reservoir and Rosebery Reservoir a few miles to the north. The road goes past the northern wooded shores of Gladhouse Reservoir, around the bottom of the dam, where just after you turn left or north for Rosebery Reservoir. It is a scenic, tranquil section that is a delight for the eyes and soul.

Nestled amongst the Pentland Hills, Glencorse Reservoir is incredibly picturesque. It was built between 1820 and 1824 to provide water to mills in the area and supply drinking water to Edinburgh. Today, the reservoir still supplies water to 450,000 people. The reservoir was created by constructing a dam, which is 77 feet (23.5 m) at its highest point.

The small lake is not directly accessible, but is beautifully situated. We were able to observe a pair of swans here.

Brilliant little Loch - a little hard to get close to the water.

The tourist walk through the city is called the "Smuggler's Trail" and leads to the most important places in the city. Everyone can make up their own mind about it. Eyemouth - All smugglers? Eyemouth became important, at least for Scotland, when Berwick-upon-Tweed fell to the English in the 15th century. There was a lot of fighting in this border region, then at some point the borders were as they are and Eyemouth became Scotland's southernmost port, market place and church district. In 1695, 304 people lived here, not including the poor, it is noted in the local museum, they were not counted. Witches were also burned here, of both sexes, two dozen men, women and unfortunately also children. Fishing wasn't really popular here at the beginning. The harbor was inadequately protected from northern storms and was not safe. In the first half of the 19th century the port was expanded and formed the basis for the subsequent rapid development of the fishing industry. At the 14th. In October 1881, a catastrophe occurred that is encountered here again and again. Eyemouth's fleet had sailed to the fishing grounds in bright sunshine, but without warning - there were no good forecasts in those days - a violent storm broke out and few made it back to safety. 129 Eyemouth fishermen died. Many died within sight of their families, a sculpture on the beach clearly shows this. About 30 years earlier, more than 100 people died of cholera here in six weeks. What did people here have to go through back then? But what about the smugglers? Eyemouth was popular as a focal point for them. Roughly close to Norway and mainland Europe, a coast with many hideouts and narrow streets in the city that you could duck into.
