Blawhorn Moss

Took a trip out to Blawhorn Moss today, even though the weather was a bit wet and windy.

It's described by Scotland's National Nature Rerserve's website as:

An oasis of open windswept moors hidden in the lowlands, Blawhorn is a site full of secrets. By using a special boardwalk to cross the peat, you'll soon discover some of its treasures, like the nodding white heads of bog cotton in early summer or the explosive cackle of a red grouse as it bolts from the heather. Beneath your feet there's over 8000 years of history, locked into the peat layers of this raised bog.

Unfortunately all we saw was wild, wet bog! We will be returning at various times of the year though, now we've found it :)
