Loch Glow
This walk visits the beautiful Loch Glow Reservoir in the Cleish Hills north of Dunfermline.
You can start your walk from the dam at the eastern end of the water and then follow footpaths west along the loch. It's a tranquil place with lovely views over the water to the surrounding hills and countryside. The walk can be extended by heading into the surrounding forestry and hills.

The Dam. Despite its size, the reservoir only had a trickle of water flowing out through the concrete-lined channel when this photograph was taken. The loch is well used by anglers - their cars and the caravan of the fishing club are visible at the end of the reservoir ie at the end of the loose surface road.

The Inneans, central hill. The Inneans (always known in the plural) are three small elongated hills to the north of the loch. This is the central hill, viewed from the forest edge. The shadow of the trees extends halfway across the field from the barbed wire fence.
