Moine Mhòr, National Nature Reserve in Argyll and Bute, Scotland
The reserve encompasses vast peatlands with mossy hummocks and open pools, forming a shallow dome across the protected landscape of western Scotland.
The peat layers within Moine Mhòr contain approximately 5,000 years of environmental history, predating many surrounding ancient standing stones in the region.
NatureScot manages this reserve as part of Scotland's natural heritage program, maintaining traditional land management practices while protecting native species.
Visitors can access the reserve through marked trails, with dedicated parking areas and seating arrangements positioned along the boardwalk for viewing wildlife.
The reserve combines four distinct ecosystems - saltmarsh, peat bog, woodland, and hillside - creating essential habitats for hen harriers and dragonflies.
