Overview
The Craigmaddie and Mugdock reservoirs in Milngavie are an important local beauty spot and recreational facility. The two reservoirs store drinking water supplying 700,000 customers in Greater Glasgow. The site which has historical, recreational and environmental significance attracts around 160,000 visitors per year.
In October 2019 we committed to a refreshed approach to how we maintain the site and to engage the community of reservoir users on its future and development. We made the following commitments:
- To deliver a refresh of the site by the end of March 2020, making a visible difference to customers and visitors.
- To deliver a step change in our approach to the upkeep of the site, working collaboratively to co-create development ideas and outcomes for the medium and long term.
- To engage broadly and inclusively to reach a broad spectrum of stakeholders and reservoir users promoting fair and open two-way dialogue.

Craigmaddie and Mugdock Reservoirs
These reservoirs supply drinking water to 700,000 customers in Greater Glasgow. They are an important local beauty spot.
What happened so far?
In 2020, We sought the public’s views on two of our much-loved and well-visited beauty spots in the Milngavie area of East Dunbartonshire; Craigmaddie and Mugdock reservoirs.
The consultation, which was launched online, encouraged people with an interest in these two Scottish Water assets to give their views and help inform future plans for investment. More than 1,000people took part.
A significant investment project is now underway at Milngavie Reservoirs to bring many improvements to the reservoirs and help enhance visitor experience. A ranger service has been introduced at the site, a defibrillator and a Scottish Water Top Up Tap have been installed and there are many more enhancements to come! Click here for more details.
