Have you ever felt the weight of history? Feel it here at Loganlea Reservoir. Look out across the placid water, where the Pentland Hills stand guard, and you’ll see right before you the embodiment of a bygone era. Loganlea Reservoir isn’t just a beautiful spot for a walk, it’s a testament to Edinburgh’s past, and a reminder of the city’s ingenuity. Loganlea is a reservoir in the Pentland Hills, a testament to the Edinburgh Water Company’s commitment to supplying the city with clean water. The company, founded in 1819, faced a challenge: meeting the demands of a growing population. The solution came in the form of Loganlea Reservoir, constructed by the Edinburgh Water Company under the provisions of an Act of Parliament obtained in 1847. The reservoir was completed in 1851. The dam that contains the reservoir is a remarkable feat of engineering, standing at 59 feet high, and the reservoir is capable of holding 118 million imperial gallons of water. It was a remarkable feat of Victorian engineering, as it was built well before the development of modern machinery and tools. Today, Loganlea Reservoir continues to supply water to Edinburgh, and plays an important role in the city’s water infrastructure. Take a moment to appreciate the reservoir, a visible symbol of the resourcefulness that helped shape Edinburgh into the city it is today.
