Cameron Reservoir

[1] Cameron Reservoir contains beds of aquatic and marginal vegetation and is an important over-wintering location for pink-footed geese.

[3] Besides the geese, the reservoir also provides habitat for breeding populations of great crested grebe, coot and tufted duck which are of regional importance.

[5] The engineers William and James Watson produced a book of lithographs in 1908 to show details of the waterworks scheme, including the reservoir, as part of the parliamentary approvals process.

[7] Ownership changed again in 1974, when the provision of drinking water became the responsibility of Fife Regional Council, following the passing of the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973.

[11] It is no longer used for this purpose, and is leased to St Andrews Angling Club by Fife Council, who own the fishing rights.
