Location: Talla
Town: Broughton
Information: Talla Reservoir is located a mile from Tweedsmuir in the Tweedsmuir hills. It is an earth-work dam fed by Talla Water. The reservoir is supplemented by water from the nearby Fruid Reservoir. It was opened in 1899. To assist in bringing the materials for its construction, the Talla Railway was built.
Before the reservoir was build, the ancient Talla loch was the recipient of Talla Water. Talla Water was diverted into the bed of the reservoir in 1905.
The valley formed by the tumbling Talla Water to the east of Talla Reservoir in the Tweedsmuir hills is a magical place to visit at any time of year. This little valley is steep sided and littered with about 20 large glacial erratic boulders, many weathered into strange and evocative shapes. The valley floor alongside the Talla Water is also littered with drumlins, small mysterious hillocks deposited when the glaciers retreated after the last Ice Age. The whole area has an strange atmosphere and can be quite spooky when weather and mood combine favourably.
