Kingsteps car park is open again - Council obtain interim interdict

Swift action by Highland Council to ensure the car park at Kingsteps remains open. Their press release states:
"The Highland Council  was granted an interim interdict at Inverness Sheriff Court today (Friday) to ensure continued access by vehicle, foot, cycle or horseback to its car park to the east of Nairn at Kingsteps.
The Council’s action was in response to a decision by the landowner to erect a locked gate denying access to the car park.
This means that the gate cannot be closed across the access road and will allow public access, which has been exercised for more than 20 years, to continue."
Images of the gate being installed last weekend can be seen here.

It's the time of year

'Kingsteps car park is open again'

'Oh no it's not'

Sir, I must protest. 'The Jacobite' is clearly just one of those CAPITALISTS. Perhaps even an Edinburgh Banker?

Either that, or he's using a faulty keyboard?

Well I will be definitely driving down there to walk my dog in Culbin forest. I won't be blocking residents, I won't leave my dog poo, I won't be shooting anything and won't be taking drugs. Hopefully ABB will see sense and leave the gate open

Update from us. Took the car down and had a great walk in beautiful Culbin. No sign of hunters, druggies or boy racers. There were another 4 cars in the car park so it was great to see other folk using the car park

Please keep the gate open, at least during daylight hours
