If you live elsewhere, please stop using the Highlands/rural Scotland as your means of self-isolation.
There are people here who are trying to follow government guidance and the steady stream of traffic escaping the cities to the Highlands and Islands is not helping. The First Minister and Prime Minister have been clear that non-essential travel must stop.
You are risking lives by potentially transmitting the virus to a new community. This isn’t a wilderness, it’s home to people.
Nobody is ever completely self-sustainable - even campervans will inevitably require provisions and fuel.
Please stop taking risks.
The Highlands welcomes guests and visitors all year, every year, from everywhere and anywhere. We are hospitable and welcoming, but this is a plea on behalf of fragile communities, with small grocery stores and fewer hospitals, and a higher proportion of older folks.
