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. Din Moss is one of the largest intact areas of raised bog in the Scottish Borders [2]
