  Also would link with the North Coast 500. https://www.visitscotland.com/[…]/ as well as encouraging use of the Far North and Kyle rail lines.

  Would like to a Flow Country World Heritage site and preservation of peatland.

  Would this just result in it being left as it is? If so the investment should go elsewhere.

  Shouldn't it be one or the other?

  I support the proposal that the Flow Country be designated as a World Heritage site but do not agree that this should lead to the area also being designated as a national park, given that the criteria for these designations are quite different and there is a risk that NP designation could interfere with the management of the flow country, especially in terms of restoring degraded peatland and maintaining the area as a carbon sink in support of climate change objectives.
