Cobbinshaw Reservoir, Protected reservoir in West Lothian, Scotland.
The reservoir extends over 310 acres of land near the Pentland Hills, providing essential water resources through multiple feeder streams including the Bog Burn.
James Jardine engineered this water system in the late 19th century to maintain water levels in the Union Canal through connections with Murieston Water.
The reservoir functions as a natural observatory where people gather to study the migration patterns of numerous bird species throughout the seasons.
Visitors can access designated paths around the water body to engage in activities such as bird watching, nature photography, and seasonal fishing.
The waters reach depths exceeding 20 meters in certain sections, creating diverse aquatic zones that support multiple fish populations and rare plant species.
