Beecraigs is actually a reservoir built between 1914 - 1918 by German prisoners of war. It was used to supply drinking water but was decommissioned as a reservoir in 1972. It became part of Beecraigs country park in 1980 and is now a popular fishing and walking destination. The path around the edge of the loch is a nice short walk mostly under tree cover.
