About Clatto Reservoir
Clatto Reservoir is a shallow reservoir in Camperdown Country Park, Dundee, Scotland. Although the site was previously used as a drinking water reservoir, this ceased in 1972. Now, it is used solely for recreational activity such as boating and fishing. In recent years, the reservoir has suffered from persistent cyanobacterial blooms that have restricted its amenity venue.Address : Clatto Reservoir, Dundee DD3, UK
