Scottish Government & NatureScot delays start date for new muirburn licence

In March 2024, the Scottish Parliament voted for the Wildlife Management and Muirburn (Scotland) Bill, which introduced, amongst other things, a requirement for all muirburn to be licensed (see here). The Bill was enacted in May 2024 and became the Wildlife Management & Muirburn (Scotland) Act 2024 and since then we’ve seen the introduction of a grouse moor licensing scheme (although this still remains contentious as the licence has been signifi…See the Story

The importance of the battle for Harvie's Dyke for access rights - parkswatchscotland

It is better to speak about “customary freedoms or liberties” rather than “customary access rights”. Otherwise legal “experts” are encouraged to claim that no such rights existed before the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003, except for rights of way that had been vindicated through court action. This is why the Law Lords, in their judgement on the Harvie’s Dyke case used the phrase about the public exercising “the liberties of the banks of the Cly…Read Article

Paving the way for Flamingo Land - Scottish Enterprise's transfer of land at the pierhead to the National Park Authority - parkswatchscotland

The Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park Authority (LLTNPA) Board duly agreed (see here) at their meeting yesterday to do nothing further to oppose the proposed Lomond Banks development. They have also handed all responsibility for negotiating a Section 75 Agreement with Flamingo Land, (as suggested but NOT required by the Scottish Government’s Reporter) which...Scotland, United Kingdom · Scotland Read Article

Forest and Land Scotland's mismanagement of access and access rights in Strathyre - parkswatchscotland

I spotted this sign on my return from walking over Ben Ledi last week (see here). While we walked round the locked gate easily enough and most cyclists could too, it would be a different matter for anyone in a wheelchair or riding a horse who wants to enjoy the extensive network of forest tracks in...Regulation · Scotland Read Article

The proposal to plant Coire na Ciste on Cairn Gorm - a new low for conservation in the National Park - parkswatchscotland

I dont know anything about this project, but taking your criticisms at face value, compare and contrast with the JMT proposals to fence Schiehallion. Well meaning but ill thought out schemes taken forwards by public/ NGO organizations, not going through the Forestry Grant scheme, therefore side stepping the usual checks and balances, usual consultees (MCoS/ Ramblers etc) not wanting to say anything/ not in evidence, hyped PR stories out of all p…Scotland, United Kingdom · Scotland Read Article

Lomond and Trossachs National Park Authority and access: challenging the propaganda - parkswatchscotland

The propaganda The reality First the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park Authority (LLTNPA) went after the campers, confining them to a few “permit areas” around the loch shores; then they went for the day visitors by shutting down visitor infrastructure and making it harder and harder to get to places; who and what will...Skiing · Scotland Read Article

When will landowners and managers face consequences for the destruction caused by muirburn? The case of Glen Banchor - parkswatchscotland

The Tinto Hills Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) (see here) was not the only protected area to be destroyed by muirburn during the periods of high fire risk this Spring.

Safety and the closure of the funicular at Cairn Gorm in August 2023 (3) - parkswatchscotland

It does shine a light on the capability of HIE as the managing agent in respect of managing such an asset. It’s a civil engineering structure and an operating piece of transport infrastructure- why is this multimillion pound public asset being managed maintained and developed on an ad hoc project basis? There must also be liabilities that sit with them under CDM which have only been caught at the last minute external body checks??!?!? Supervisio…Scotland, United Kingdom · Scotland Read Article

The closure of the Radical Road - critique of update from Historic Environment Scotland - parkswatchscotland

After writing about my walk along the Radical Road on 1st April [belatedly published on Parkswatch two days ago – Ed] (see here), I was passed an update (see here) from Historic Environment Scotland (HES), an incredible piece of corporate-speak. I am sure HES believe what they say but this is only because they are...Edinburgh · Edinburgh Read Article
