Flanders Moss is an area of raised bog lying in the Carse of Forth in west Stirlingshire, Scotland. The villages of Thornhill and Port of Menteith lie to the north with the villages of Kippen and Buchlyvie lying to the south. ==History==
Formerly passable with difficulty, using boardwalks, during the 18th century much drainage of the land was encouraged by the lawyer, historian and improver Henry Home, Lord Kames, but a substantial portion survived this development at two sites - West Flanders Moss on the south and East Flanders Moss on the north side of the River Forth. The Strathendrick and Aberfoyle Railway was built through West Flanders Moss. Opening in 1880, the line ran between the villages of Buchlyvie and Gartmore. In the 1970s the rest of West Flanders Moss was drained and planted with a commercial forest by the Forestry Commission, although much of the plantation is now being removed and the moss restored to its natural state.〔 〕
