Lenzie Moss

Lenzie Moss is a local nature reserve in Lenzie, East Dunbartonshire, Scotland.[1] It is a boggy, marshy area that has not been built on. The reserve comprises lowland raised bogs, which were extensively exploited for peat, and now feature the characteristics of peat cutting, and several acres of deciduous woodland mainly made up of silver birch. The area is a sanctuary for wildlife, including rabbits, deer and foxes.[2]

The Lenzie Peat Railway was a narrow gauge railway which ran on Lenzie Moss serving the peat trade.
