At Rannoch Moor in the Scottish Highlands, the vast expanse of waterlogged land is a result of ancient ice shaping the landscape. The hard granite beneath the surface doesn't let water seep through easily, creating pools and bogs. After the Ice Age, melting ice left behind rocks and sand, forming lochs and lochans. Over time, peat developed, creating a blanket bog. The unique water world we see today is a reminder of the powerful forces that shaped this stunning area.
