Roslin Moat

May 2023

Roslin Moat is a local biodiversity site on the edge of Roslin and is enjoyed by many villagers and visitors to the area. The curling pond was used for curling until the early 20th century, but since then has been a haven for nature and their volunteer team has renovated it. The pond and surroundings is home to a variety of wildlife, including dragon and damselflies, frogs, toads and newts and many species of birds. Next to the pond is a stone-built repository which was used for curling stones and was converted to a bird hide in the 1990’s. However this hide had no door. Orcome Trust funded a gate being installed to help the hide become useable again.
