Clatto Country Park — Attraction in Scotland

A place I have so many fond memories of, spent thousands of hours playing here as a kid and then working and fishing at this busy reservoir as a teenager. It used to be bustling but is now very neglected as the City Council no longer have the funding to staff or use it to its potential. The only thing still maintained is the kids playpark - everything else is left to ruin. Broken palletes, logs and rubbish in the water, poorly maintained stone banks, ranger centre long ago closed, birdlife and waterfowl are even noticeably diminished. It's a place where locals will always walk the dog or go for a run but if you are from further afield you would be better off going to Camperdown Park which is only a mile...

It was cold today, bit the sun was out and little wind. A walk around Clatto is a good way to get out of the house and enjoy the air. I go as often as I can, then try and spot the terrapin or the for the swans. It's a big circle walk taking about an hour.

Since the recent storms some trees were snapped by the wind. Fortunately this has not caused an access problem, and these broken trees are a form ot beauty...

Clatto country park is a great to hang out with friends and family alike for me it's great for even just walking around the reservoir, theres benches for sitting on picnic tables for eating on a big play park for the children and a green area for a kick about I've lived on the parks door step for the last 32 years and couldn't do...
