Rewilding the Highlands vs right to roam

[KDM]

With things like rewilding, it seems to me that it often is little more than those without the land, telling those who do have it, what to do with it.

After our discussion of the old fort on Ben Griam Beg near Forsinard, I pulled up an aerial view of it. It was big - much bigger than I expected it to be, which implies the population would have been bigger than I surmised too. But the visible evidence on the flat ground wouldn't support that.

But how much heritage is hidden under a few hundred years of peat - or been plowed under?

I can see a bit of hike a bike coming up next trip north. I want to know if those things that look like defensive walls further down the slope are actually that or just random natural features.

Peatland certainly absorbs evidence. No wonder settlements on higher ground are easier to identify.
