Muirburning in Glen Clunie today. @raptorpersuk.bsky.social
Been in the hills again today - extensive land degradation due to muirburning (for grouse bird shooting!) and peat erosion … no trees manage to regenerate due to overgrazing

Scotland bans campers having fires in the summer.
But this study found 98% started on shooting estate land!
Something called muirburning ie. deliberately setting fires to benefit grouse.

There's an extreme wildfire risk in parts of Scotland this week, mostly affecting low-lying areas but also for the central Highlands. Never mind, though, let's just keep on muirburning anyway, oh and in a national park too 🧵

Getty Images Groups have warned that new rules on muirburning could lead to more wildfires. The practice can create patterns in the heather, seen here in the Southern Uplands. New licensing rules for the controlled burning of heather and other moorland vegetation could lead to an increased risk of wildfires, a rural group has warned.
