Carsegowan Moss is a Scottish Wildlife Trust site. ICI Nobel built an explosives factory here in WW2 producing gunpowder; it closed in 1945-6 but many buildings remain - for example this cottage was a gatehouse or guardhouse; workers passed through a gate on the right of the building, showing their passes at the window.
