Intake tower and spillway, Talla Reservoir
The reservoir close to the dam. It was completed in 1905 and was a very large infrastructure project for such a rural area, built to supply water to Edinburgh. Some fascinating photographs of the reservoir under construction, including the tower, can be found at LinkExternal link.
