A new video has been produced by Malcolm Kirk to highlight the save Loch Ness and the Great Glen campaign which seeks support for a petition to the Scottish Government to take steps to designate Loch Ness and Great Glen as a National Scenic Area with a priority application to be made to UNESCO so that the area can be afforded World Heritage protection.
The petition which was launched by the Friends of the Great Glen and is available at: http://www.scottish.parliament.uk/GettingInvolved/Petitions/PE01564
A website is also available to highlight the issues facing Loch Ness and the Great Glen at: http://savelochness.com/main.html.
The team behind the website state;
Loch Ness is under threat from over 500 wind turbines approved and in the planning stage within a 22 mile radius (Daily Mail 28/1/2015). Loch Ness and the Great Glen are now prime targets for windfarm developers. There are calls to classify Loch Ness and the Great Glen a World Heritage Site because of their international importance. They are Scotland’s second most popular tourist draw. Yet, environmental destruction could threaten some of the Highland’s most scenic areas.
