Calls for action to stop fires being lit at beauty spot
Edinburgh Evening News
|May 12, 2025
A Gladhouse resident is calling on the Scottish Water ranger service to do more to stop visitors to the Midlothian beauty spot lighting fires.
The Scottish Water ranger service based at Gladhouse Reservoir, just outside Penicuik, has two dedicated rangers operating year-round at the popular location.
Local resident Jon Steele, 53, is concerned after he saw numerous fires lit near Gladhouse Reservoir at the weekend, despite signs being put up there telling visitors not to light fires, and extreme fire warnings being issued last week.
