| Bulldozed Tracks |
Tell us which you think is Scotland's worst example? Bulldozed tracks always figure as one of the most hated intrusions into wild land, whether they cut through a remote glen or across an open hillside. They have often ruined existing paths, are sometimes badly engineered and are even more hideous at close quarters than from a distance. We'd like to know which ones our members would pick out as the worst examples. |
