Landward presenter Dougie Vipond and landscape photographer Colin Prior visit East Lothian to rephotograph the site of Whiteadder Reservoir.
There was once a rural community with a farm and school at the location until it was flooded in 1968 to provide water for the thirsty towns in East Lothian. Millknowe farm and Kingside School had to be demolished and flooded. Even the road along the valley had to be relocated.
