Scope and Content Cardross House The area of the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park contains a rich variety of archaeological sites and historic landscapes, which continue to have a major impact on the environment today. Cardross House, a 16th-century tower-house enlarged in the 18th century, stands within its policies on a ridge rising above the floor of the Forth valley. In the background is a fragment of Flanders Moss, which once extended right across the Forth valley. During the Improvement Period (c.1750-1850) many landowners rebuilt their houses on a grand scale and established extensive policies around them. In the Forth valley there was extensive clearance of peat mosses to bring more ground into cultivation. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
