POLICE in the north and west Highlands have stepped up patrols amid growing concerns over the irresponsible actions of visitors during the summer.
Taking to Twitter this morning, a Police Scotland spokesman said: "Local officers are carrying out regular patrols in the North West Highlands in response to concerns raised about irresponsible camping and parking."
Since the Covid-19 lockdown began easing there have been reports all over the Highlands of irresponsible camping, parking and littering – as people across the UK flock to the far north for holiday getaway.
In recent days there have been pleas by folk in Durness to national park chiefs in the Cairngorms.
