Geocache Description:


At the start of a short hike to Whiteadder reservoir or a longer stretch of the legs to Garvald.

The reservoir was established in the late 1960s. The flooding ceremony was in May 1968. Millknown Farm and Kingside School were flooded.

Whiteadder reservoir supplies East Lothian and Berwickshire, including Cockenzie Power Station on the northern coast of East Lothian, and is fed by the Whiteadder Water, the lowest tributary of the River Tweed which it enters at Berwick-on-Tweed.

Garvald village sits upon a red sandstone formation, and lies in a narrow, well-sheltered hollow, or valley. The name of the stream upon which the village is situated, the Papana Water, appears to have been imported, given by nuns who came from Italy and settled down at nearby Nunraw. It abounds with small trout. The land rises very abruptly towards the Lammermuir Hills after the bridge across the Papana is crossed.
