TALK to people about memories they’ve made in Scotland and many of them will take you back to precious moments spent in our national parks at Loch Lomond and the Trossachs and the Cairngorms.
This week we took another huge step towards making that a reality when the Scottish Green biodiversity minister, Lorna Slater, announced that nominations for where the new park would be were officially open.But such was the interest and enthusiasm from local communities that even before the opening of nominations, she’d received 10 notes of interest from areas as diverse as Galloway, Largo Bay, Lochaber and Skye.
In June, we saw massive wildfires, with land equivalent to 2100 football pitches burned near Cannich, and in the months following we saw global temperatures hit record levels, with the UN Secretary-General saying that we had entered “the era of global boiling”. Equally there is more benefit than just to our landscapes, rural economies and wildlife. The impact on our individual wellbeing is something no-one can really put a price on, and that’s another extraordinary benefit that will come with a new park.
National parks are more than natural treasures. They can be anchor points in life, inspirational, educational and sustainable in equal measure. I for one cannot wait to see where the next one will be.The launch this week of the bidding process is a massive opportunity for communities across Scotland to make a real noise about where they think the new national park should be.
