Description

The property is a section of Blackgate Moss, a rural area with a mix of open grassland, commercial forestry, and a former peat harvesting site. The land is not occupied or grazed, but has significant peat depths remaining, making it potentially suitable for restoration and potentially qualifying for funding. The site has a gas pipeline running through it, and has been historically drained in association with peat harvesting. The land is situated approximately 2 miles northwest of Carnwath, with Edinburgh and Glasgow city centers within a 27-34 mile radius. The property has a unique opportunity for peatland restoration, with the possibility of applying for funding through the Peatland ACTION scheme, and with permitted development rights for restoration projects.
