Flanders Moss, a tract of low, Fat ground in the NE of Drymen parish, SW Stirlingshire, on the southern bank of the Forth. Lying from 40 to 60 feet above sea-level, it is believed to have passed from the condition of a rich alluvial plain to the condition of a bog, through the overthrow of a forest on it by the Roman army in the time of Severus; and has, to a great extent, in recent times, been reclaimed by means of channel cuttings to the Forth. It is skirted, to the SE, by the Forth and Clyde Junction section of the North British railway.—Ord. Sur., sh. 38, 1871.
