Possil Marsh, Wildlife reserve in Glasgow City, Scotland.
Possil Marsh contains a shallow freshwater loch surrounded by wetland types including marsh, swamp, fen, willow scrub, and grassland areas.
The reserve was part of an extensive system of lochs and marshes throughout lowland West Central Scotland before centuries of drainage reduced the network.
The Scottish Wildlife Trust manages educational programs at Possil Marsh, teaching students about wetland ecology and environmental conservation principles.
Visitors can access the reserve via the Forth & Clyde towpath, with unrestricted parking available near the old Lambhill Stables building.
A monument marks the spot where the High Possil meteorite fell in 1804, adding geological significance to this protected natural area.
