Crannach Moss is a nature reserve located in Banffshire, Scotland. It is known for its diverse ecosystem, consisting of wetlands, heathland, and moorland. The site covers an area of approximately 100 hectares and is home to a variety of plant and animal species.
The moss is characterized by its peat bogs, which are formed from decomposing plant material that has accumulated over thousands of years. These bogs play a crucial role in storing carbon and regulating water levels in the surrounding area.
The reserve is a popular destination for birdwatchers, as it provides a habitat for a range of bird species, including curlews, lapwings, and red grouse. Visitors may also spot other wildlife such as deer, foxes, and otters.
Crannach Moss offers several walking trails for visitors to explore the diverse landscape and observe the flora and fauna. The site is managed by the Scottish Wildlife Trust, which works to protect and preserve the natural environment of the moss for future generations to enjoy.
