Ordnance Survey Map Open Streetmap This reservoir in North Lanarkshire is a nice place for a walk or some fishing.
The lake is located just west of Harthill and Armadale. There's some lovely scenic views over the water to the surrounding hills and countryside.
You can continue your waterside walking to the north around Hillend Reservoir. The Airdrie to Bathgate Cycle Path can also be accessed here. To the west is Roughrigg Reservoir where there's a circular walk along the grassy paths of the old railway track.
