Alan I truly meant that you are a much respected contributor to the TGO site and I enjoy your comments.
You do have your opinions which you hang onto and defend like a terrier. Not a bad thing.
I understand your stance on wildlife, and believe it or not I have a very similar attitude.
White tailed eagles –sea eagle -golden eagles hunted or nearly hunted to extinction, that was a long time ago as were beaver (re-introduced) wolves bison etc. which have not been reintroduced (as yet)
We differ on our views on modern estate wildlife management, that’s all.
The good news is that we have the freedom to roam in Bonnie Scotland, the bad news is we will come across these traps and yes on the next crossing or any other sojourn into the hills and I come across an illegal trap you can be assured that I will report it to the police, guaranteed.
I suggest we all have a Great Big Group Hug.
There. That's better.
If we have a Tourism Minister who is so proud of the income from nature and wildlife tourism, can he not do something about all those windfarms and mega-pylons?? 
Ah Jean, the wonders of Scottish politics!
Fergus Ewing is Minister for Energy, Enterprise & Tourism.
So with one hat on he says he wants more wind farms, with another hat he doles out money (yours, that is) to build them and with his third hat he takes pretty pictures of the Highlands that don't include any turbines at all.
Fergus "used to be a member of the the Lomond Mountain Rescue Team, and has climbed around two thirds of Scotland's Munroes."
That's taken from his bio on the Scottish Government's own website. LINK
You would have thought he would have known better.
Fergus "used to be a member of the the Lomond Mountain Rescue Team, and has climbed around two thirds of Scotland's Munroes."
So I reckon Fergus has climbed all Munroes for two thirds...got a bit scared a turned back down again.

A clarification:
Earlier in the thread I mentioned that the RSPCA should be one of the agencies that could be contacted. It's been pointed out to me that in Scotland this should be the SSPCA.
