Re: Wild camping restrictions in the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park

I am afraid that "derivative laws" such as this target the wrong people.

If the objection is to anti-social behaviour, then what is needed is bye-laws against anti-social behaviour and their enforcement, NOT by-laws that catch the perfectly respectable, law-abiding, social and sociable members of the outdoor community.

"What was your offence?"

"Wild camping without the correct permit."

Yes ... that is really going to deter anti-social behaviour.

But ... a precedent has now been set. A precedent which will doubtless encourage others to chance their arm. I predict that this is just the beginning. The Cairngorms will be next.
