Portmoak Moss

The site consists partly of mature conifer plantation woodland and partly of an open area of raised bog. Portmoak Moss is located approximately 200m south west of the village of Scotlandwell, in Perth and Kinross. It is located on flat land, around 110m in altitude, beside Loch Leven, with the Lomond Hills lying to the north east. The site is relatively flat with a central raised dome of peat. The wood is visible from the Loch and surrounding roads as well as from the popular walks on the Lomond Hills. The climate for the Portmoak area is recorded as being that typical of fairly warm, moist lowland and foothill. The area is moderately exposed with moderate winters.
