Glen Finglas - The Trossachs

Glen Finglas Reservoir is near Brig O'Turk in the heart of the Trossachs. The history of Glen Finglas and its relationship with people goes back thousands of years. Its most famous period was from the early 1300s to the 1700s when Glen Finglas was possibly the most popular of all royal hunting forests. David II, Robert II, James I, II, III, IV and V and many important Scottish Earls hunted here. In particular, James II built a permanent hunting lodge in the glen. More recently, part of the glen was flooded to create a reservoir. A tunnel links it to nearby Loch Katrine. Both provide drinking water to millions of people who live in the city of Glasgow. When the reservoir was flooded the water covered old hay meadows and farmsteads. The remains of field walls can still be seen during periods of low water level.
