It complements the Landscape Character Type descriptions of the 2019 dataset. The original character assessment reports, part of a series of 30, mostly for a local authority area, included a “Background Chapter” on the formation of the landscape. These documents have been revised because feedback said they are useful, despite the fact that other sources of information are now readily available on the internet, unlike in the 1990’s when the first versions were produced. The content of the chapters varied considerably between the reports, and it has been restructured into a more standard format: Introduction, Physical Influences and Human Influences for all areas; and Cultural Influences sections for the majority. Some content variation still remains as the documents have been revised rather than rewritten, The information has been updated with input from the relevant Local Authorities. The historic and cultural aspects have been reviewed and updated by Historic Environment Scotland. Gaps in information have been filled where possible. -

There is an implication that, if woodland expansion targets are to be achieved and Owners and land managers are needed on side not just peatland projects completed without risk, further to manage deer but to recover peatland, restore native reductions in deer numbers will be required. We question woodland, and a host of other actions to mitigate that as a generality while agreeing that compensatory climate change. reductions are appropriate where the deer range is reduced by a change in land use.
