Several streams arise on the flanks of the Craigengar. A brook flowing down from the eastern flank is one of the tributaries of the West Water Reservoir , which was established in 1969 and serves as the regional water supply. A stream flows off the south flank and flows into Medwin Water , which first marks the border between West Lothian and South Lanarkshire , then between South Lanarkshire and the Scottish Borders before it widens to South Medwin . The Crosswood Burn rises on the northeast flank and is dammed up on the western flank of the Pentland Hills to form the Crosswood Reservoir .
