A site proposed to the Society as a locality for scarce plants, Restenneth Moss (as it is now known) is an important wetland, created when a former loch was dug for marl (lime-rich mud) many years ago. The seventh-century Restenneth Priory sits next to the Moss, which is a mix of wet woodland, scrub, reedswamp and fen. The site supports many interesting plants and is a breeding ground for grasshopper warblers.
