Flanders Moss
Situated in the Carse of Stirling, this is a bogland of great beauty with its colourful sphagnum mosses and varied birdlife.
This reserve is a remnant of what must have been one of the largest lowland bog areas in Britain. The rest was reclaimed for farming during the 18th century.
The site has many rare and uncommon features and undisturbed vegetation.
The peat is deep at the centre of the bog and the bog is dried out in places due to the invasion of trees. This represents around a fifth of the remaining undisturbed lowland raised bog in Scotland. It's a nature reserve and bio-diversity importance.
