Great Glen Barrier

It is obvious that Covid-19 is causing much less of a problem west and north of the Great Glen Fault. It is easy enough to police this boundary, since this was done during WWII. A barrier at this boundary would surely allow those living west and north of it to come out of lockdown sooner. I should add that this would be of no benefit to me, since I live in Stirlingshire.

Why the contribution is important

It is unjust that west and northern highland areas should suffer unnecessarily severe loss of freedom for the sake of uniformity of policy.

This would be very difficult to control and residents of each area may find a barrier unacceptable.

I thought the Great Glen was already a barrier!?

Anything that might help stop the rush to the highlands and islands when lockdown is eased.

copy of earlier comment Regret divisive and unworkable. Looks good for Orkney and might have been attractive for Western Isles, but oops, suddenly Skye is red-hot and only 15 miles by small boat AND YOU CAN WALK TO/FROM IT.
