Red Moss is the only lowland raised bog in the City of Edinburgh and is a Scottish Wildlife Nature Reserve. The reserve is composed of deep peat that has accumulated over thousands of years since the end of the last ice age. It is quite a dramatic landscape, specially in today's moody weather (though it luckily didn't rain!).
wonderful lichens on this tree!
There were several mute swans on this reservoir.
pretty, moody skies.
