Scottish Borders: Dams and Towers

We faced another grey day upon awaking, however by the time the van was packed up and we were heading off it was hazy yet gloriously sunny. Driving not too far we reached the dam at the end of the reservoir and decided to get out for a stroll. A grassy path had been created…
