Official name | Din Moss - Hoselaw Loch |
Designated | 14 July 1988 |
Reference no. | 405 |
Hoselaw Loch and Din Moss is a nature reserve near Kelso in the Scottish Borders area of Scotland, in the former Roxburghshire. A lack of footpaths and the surrounding land being used by farms makes access tricky.
The reserve is designated SSSI, SPA and Ramsar because of the large numbers of wildfown overwintering there, especially the Icelandic/Greenland pink-footed goose (Anser brachyrhynchus) and the Icelandic greylag goose (Anser anser).
