New by-law bans camp fires and barbecues in Cairngorms

‘A ban on camp fires and barbecues has been introduced to the UK’s largest national park in a bid to reduce the risk of wildfires.

It said leaflets, social media messages and signage would be used to help promote the ban which will also be backed up by the power to issue fixed penalty notices.

Damage caused by camp fires and anti-social behaviour has been a problem in the park for a number of years.’
