ranger service

Leigh Hamilton, ranger service manager at Loch Lomond National Park Authority, said a fire in May caused by a disposable barbecue at Glen Finglas had a "devastating impact"

The ranger service thanked emergency services who responded to the alert and local businesses that provided accommodation, food and refreshments.

The North York Moors Ranger Service said it had worked with a blacksmith to create the viewing platform overlooking the landmark.

People who chose to walk from Kinlochhourn and Glenfinnan usually break the trip down to a journey of two to three days and are advised to contact the local ranger service for advice on the routes.

Aberdeenshire Ranger Service said most visitors abided by the Scottish Outdoor Access Code and acted responsibly, but there were others who were "treating the countryside with a total lack of respect".
