PICK UP your litter. Although it amazes me that people need to be told this. AS LOCKDOWN lifts, many people are heading out to enjoy Scotland’s parks, beaches and countryside – where they are being urged to respect both nature and people around them. The message is that countryside visitors should stick to the three simple principles – ‘care for the environment’, ‘respect the interests of others’, and ‘be responsible for your own actions’ – that underpin the Scottish Outdoor Access Code. Ahead of the expected mass movement of folk out of the cities, NatureScot, Visit Scotland, Forestry and Land Scotland and the Cairngorms and Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Parks authorities have stressed that the country s world-famous outdoor access rights are dependent on everyone behaving responsibly as they exercise those rights.

THE first weekend of Scotland’s eased travel restrictions appears to have passed relatively smoothly in Balloch and other visitor hotspots around Loch Lomond. Following Nicola Sturgeon’s announcement last week that people in Scotland would be able to travel freely around the mainland for day trips and other non-essential reasons from April 16 onwards, communities in the National Park were braced for a large influx of visitors at the weekend. The Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park Authority urged people to plan ahead and to check for live updates on car park capacity around the area. But there were no reports of any major problems, and James Fraser, from the Friends of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs conservation charity, said the weekend, while busy, had been free of incident.
