A TEAM of Highland Council outdoor access rangers has started work on the NC500 in Sutherland after funding was found to support the posts.
The former Highland-wide ranger service ended at the end of March after three years as a result of funding difficulties.
At a meeting of Sutherland County Committee in May, it was agreed that £100,000 from the Community Regeneration Fund would be used to fund ranger posts in the country. Highland Council meanwhile said the ranger who previously worked on the north coast was returning but others in the team were new to the post, although all had experience working in the Scottish countryside.
The spokesperson added: “People can contact the ranger team but we ask them to be realistic in their expectations.We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
