Loch Glow Reservoir
Loch Glow Reservoir
Loch Glow Reservoir sits in the Cleish Hills of Fife, roughly 5 miles north of Dunfermline, with the Perth & Kinross border running along its northern shore.
The reservoir covers approximately 120 acres and is operated by Scottish Water for drinking-water supply, while also supporting a recreational trout fishery for both bait and fly anglers. Access is via a single-track road with passing places.
A large car park and a bailiff's cabin near the water serve as the main on-site infrastructure. Boats are available for fly fishing only, and anglers must bring their own electric outboard and battery.
No café, tackle shop, or formal visitor centre is present, so visitors should arrive fully self-sufficient.
Beyond fishing, the reservoir offers a short walking route starting from the earth embankment dam at the eastern end, with footpaths running west along the loch and opportunities to extend the outing into surrounding forestry and hills.
