Tens of thousands of pounds worth of losses hit the rural economy following a Scottish Government u-turn on self-catering accommodation restrictions.
BASC has welcomed the decision by the Scottish Government to relax a temporary muirburn ban which was imposed as part of emergency coronavirus legislation.
As long as shoots follow the government approved guidance for country sports in Scotland then such outdoor activity should continue as before.
The delay in protecting the mountain hare is a direct consequence of the Green Party’s actions within the chamber.
In this blog BASC’s Political and Press Officer in Scotland, Ross Ewing, reflects on the Scottish Green Party’s performance over the last few months, in which they have actively ducked scrutiny to satisfy their divisive agenda.
The Scottish Parliament have voted to give further protection to mountain hares in Scotland following the last-minute amendment proposed by Green Party MSP Alison Johnstone.

Work is underway to brief MSPs on the available science prior to the amendment being heard.
