I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:
Work started in 1964, was completed in 1968 and was opened by Queen Elizabeth II the following year. The sole purpose of Backwater is to supply residents of Angus, Dundee and Perthshire with drinking water. Along with the nearby, smaller, Lintrathen Loch they are capable of supplying 300,000 people. It is 3km long and holds 24.55 million cubic meters. It was also the first dam in Britain to use chemical grouting to make a waterproof barrier below the embankment. It’s a very popular walking route and can get pretty busy. Plenty parking space on the south available and a viewpoint on the north east side.
The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 07/04/2025. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location. Landowner permission may be required before taking off.
