Carron Valley Reservoir

One of the routes through the Campsie Fells is that which follows the River Carron from Carron Bridge to the valley of the same name. There you'll find a dam that was previously considered to be a lake, the Lake Carron. It's a popular route, and as you pass through the surrounding woods you'll see beautiful views of the valley, with the wind and water adding a touch of drama to the landscape. The waters teem with fish, so they're popular with local fisherman. Interestingly, what was originally a lake has changed over the years; small tectonic movements were moving water into the valley, endangering people.
