Black Esk Reservoir is a popular fishing and beauty spot covering 110 acres in the rugged but scenic countryside of rural Dumfries and Galloway, The nearest major settlement is the award winning village of Moffat 14km to the north west. The reservoir and nearby water treatment works were opened on 13 August 1962 by the Rt Hon. Michael Noble, MP and Secretary of State for Scotland, to supply drinking water to towns and villages in Annandale and Eskdale and to ensure supply of water to Chapelcross Nuclear Power Station. The reservoir sits on the course of the Black Esk River, which merges with the White Esk to form the River Esk to the east of Moffat. The reservoir has an earth embankment dam and is surrounded by plantation forest.
