Parking at a protected reservoir has been banned for the summer amid reports of wildlife being chased and hurt, and claims of assaults, public urination and litter dumping.
Local users of Gladhouse Reservoir have been left angered after Midlothian Council introduced a six month parking ban on the road to the north of the beauty spot.
The reservoir, which is popular with wild swimmers and water sports enthusiasts, was at the heart of a Scottish Water survey into its usage which saw more than 1,000 people take part.
