The Loganlea Reservoir is a reservoir built in 1851 in Scotland . In the northeast the lake closes with an earth wall. Like several other reservoirs in the area, the Loganlea Reservoir, operated by Scottish Water , provides water to Edinburgh .
geography
The approximately 820 m long and maximum 130 m wide lake is located in the south of the Council Area Midlothian in the Pentland Hills . It occupies an area of 10.3 hectares . The maximum water depth is 15.5 meters, resulting in a volume of 531,000 m 3 .
The Loganlea Reservoir is created by the damming of the Logan Burns between the hills Carnethy Hill , Scald Law and Black Hill in the center of the range of hills. The only outflow is the Logan Burn on the north side of the reservoir. Only 1.5 kilometers to the northeast, the water of the Logan Burns is dammed again, from which the Glencorse Reservoir emerges.
Surroundings
On the northwest bank of Loganlea Reservoir are the remains of the Howlet's House fortified tower , believed to have been built in the 15th or 16th centuries. There were once two tower houses between Loganlea and Glencorse Reservoir , which were probably built around 1230 and in the 15th century respectively. The buildings, which were already in ruins by the 19th century at the latest, have meanwhile been largely removed.
