Blawhorn Moss NNR is a piece of wild bog landscape hidden away close to Edinburgh.
Bogs are wet places where special wildlife that is specially adapted to these conditions live. But Blawhorn is an easy place to visit with a car park, dry path and boardwalk giving an easy walk onto the moss. If you want to escape the hubbub of the modern world then Blawhorn is a great place to visit with its wild landscape and tranquil atmosphere.
