This summer our lovely volunteers will be out and about surveying wildlife and plant life at The Moat.

A big thank you to Natalie and all at The Wildlife Information Centre (TWIC) who are organising the survey, and will be collating the data. If you would like to get involved, please do get in touch.

58 generous people have now sent donations for our replacement interpretation board 👏👏👏

We are not too far off the target, so if you can spare a few pounds to help is get there, we'd be really grateful.

Thank you 🙂

Can you help us replace our broken information board? As you can see, the current one is… Friends of Roslin Moat needs your support for Friends of Roslin Moat

Thank you very much to Roslin Heritage Society for providing information about the history of the Moat Pit, and also to the National Mining Museum of Scotland in Newtongrange (nationalminingmuseum.com) for these fascinating photos of Roslin Colliery.

Our interpretation panel...

We are very pleased to say that councillor Pauline Wi******er has kindly offered to part-fund a replacement.

However, we do need more money to make this happen, so if you can, please donate via our GoFundMe page:
