Wild Land Map

[Dogoak]

The first UK map of wild land has been published by Scottish Natural Heritage.
'It involves almost four million acres of land in Scotland deemed to be natural, remote, with challenging terrain and few modern structures.
SNH said the map was part of government efforts to protect the areas and guide development in the landscapes'.

You can view it as a pdf here..........................http://www.snh.gov.uk/docs/A912115.pdf

That's a great resource; makes you wonder why we haven't always had such a thing................I wonder how long it'll take for us to catch up down here? I won't hold my breath! Thanks for this, atb mac
