It is an artificial reservoir constructed in 1819. It lies in a gully in the Lammermuir Hills, above the village of Stenton in East Lothian. It is roughly 2 kilometres in length but less than 100 metres broad.
It is one of only three bodies of water in Scotland known as lakes, the others are the Lake of Menteith and the Lake of the Hirsel. Only the Lake of Menteith is a natural body of water.
