Swift action by Highland Council to ensure the car park at Kingsteps remains open. Their press release states:
"The Highland Council
was granted an interim interdict at Inverness Sheriff Court today (Friday) to
ensure continued access by vehicle, foot, cycle or horseback to its car park to
the east of Nairn at Kingsteps.
The Council’s action was in
response to a decision by the landowner to erect a locked gate denying access
to the car park.
This means that the gate cannot be
closed across the access road and will allow public access, which has been
exercised for more than 20 years, to continue."
Images of the gate being installed last weekend can be seen here.

Victory for the commoners
Common sense prevails.
The Jacobite
I UNDERSTAND THE FENCE ERECTED AT THE TOP OF THE ROAD WILL PREVENT THE LORRY FROM GETTING DOWN TO EMPTY THE HOUSEHOLD REFUSE. .WILL THAT HAVE TO GO OR WILL THE BINS NOW HAVE TO BE TAKEN TO THE TOP OF THE ROAD
It's the time of year
'Kingsteps car park is open again'
'Oh no it's not'
Sir, I must protest. 'The Jacobite' is clearly just one of those CAPITALISTS. Perhaps even an Edinburgh Banker?
Either that, or he's using a faulty keyboard?
Dont count your chicks yet lads and lasses--Brodie wont take this lying down--good though for common sense to prevail.
Well I will be definitely driving down there to walk my dog in Culbin forest. I won't be blocking residents, I won't leave my dog poo, I won't be shooting anything and won't be taking drugs. Hopefully ABB will see sense and leave the gate open
A message to you all, you cant put brains into cement.
The Bin lorries have only being going down for the past year due to a big tree being taken down on the corner
@anon 7.02 re other lorries please contact the Gurn via e-mail
Update from us. Took the car down and had a great walk in beautiful Culbin. No sign of hunters, druggies or boy racers. There were another 4 cars in the car park so it was great to see other folk using the car park
Please keep the gate open, at least during daylight hours
