HC Deb 26 February 1973 vol 851 c295W
Mr. Maclennan

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list the road and path improvement schemes which the Countryside Commission for Scotland has approved for financial assistance in the current financial year in the seven crofting counties.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

Road improvement schemes are assisted under the Countryside (Scotland) Act 1967 in country parks only, and there are so far no such parks in the crofting counties. On the recommendation of the commission I have, however, offered grant in the current financial year on the following path improvement schemes:

County Council Improvement Amount of Grant
£
Inverness Ben Nevis footpath 1,275
Lairig Ghru footpath 150
Ross and Cromarty. Rosemarkie-Navity coastal footpath. 144
Stornoway Harbour footpath. 1,143
Zetland Knabb-Twagoes footpath 737
Sletts-Clickimin footpath 754
