Keep the Borders beautiful
It is a pity that the bid by the John Muir Trust and the Borders Forest Trust for the Talla and Gameshope Estate was not successful. The Borders contains some wonderful scenery which is under threat as much, if not more, than the Highlands from the iniquitous ubiquitous windfarm. Judicious planting of mixed woodland and management of overgrazing by the afore-mentioned trusts would have done much to improve the estate, encouraging recreation and tourism plus providing sustainable forestry. Calton hopes that the successful bidder will take on board at least some of their plans and will resist the temptation to earn a quick buck by desecrating some wonderful hills with wind turbines.
