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.

Love the snow. I would love to see a swan in the wild!!
I remember the nute swans in flight at Musselborough.
how beautiful… most of been lovely to see the swans.
Lovely skies and a pretty scene! Have a great day!
We have some very few peat bogs here - mysterious sounding!
What a wonderful-looking place. I bet there will be some lovely dragonflies there in the summer ...
looks stunning!
