Conflicting reports over Cape Wrath's future

CONFUSION surrounded the future of Scotland's world famous Cape Wrath last night following conflicting reports on the purchase of the beauty spot.

The peninsula, in the far north-west tip of the mainland, is up for sale and concerns have been raised that the Ministry of Defence (MoD) may buy it and restrict access.

Locals, represented by the Durness Development Group, have already applied to buy the land under the Land Reform Scotland Act 2003 and are awaiting a decision by Scottish Government ministers.
