Pibble Mine Reservoir
Pibble Mine is the site of the only Cornish pumping engine house on mainland Scotland. A reservoir was built a little to the west of the mine, and it is sometimes used by anglers. In 2012 there existed the remains of a wooden hut used by the anglers, but it had been blown down by the strong winds experienced there. Sometime in the intervening four years, it must have been replaced by another shelter, which has unfortunately been burnt down.
