The Portmoak Time Machine: 23 July 2017
Our favorite Time Lord brought his tardis to Portmoak Moss as part of the "Our Portmoak" series of events. Andrew McBride of SNH took a peat core of about 6 metres depth - that is to say he went back in time by about 6000 years. Facinating.
We could clearly see changes in climate (wet periods, dry periods) and in vegetation types through the history of the Moss. There was even a well preserved, bright blue insect carapice from about 5500 years ago. More than 20 people attended and much enjoyed the event. Espeically small boys who were able to smear each other with some really, really old mud.
