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.
