Letter: Inglorious 12th
I recently drove past Lochindorb through clouds of smoke while muir-burning was in progress. I knew when I had left Mr Laing's estate: the notices along the side of the road stating "do not disturb the birds" (for "birds" read "grouse and grouse only") disappeared and the normal scenery of trees, bushes and other features that bring tourists to Scotland started again.
I hardly think the customers expected on this and other estates care one jot about the scenery as they blast away and brag about their shooting prowess to any fool who cares to listen.
