Protected areas in the periphery: conservation and controversy in northern Scotland
1993
Mather, A.S.
Controversies arising from the notification of large areas of land as Sites of Special Scientific Interest in northern Scotland are reviewed against the background of surveys of land occupiers experiences on the one hand, and of trends in conservation thinking in the world on the other. Most of the protected area is of low capability for productive land use, and there is little evidence of adverse trends in and employment on SSSIs compared with similar, non-SSSI land. Site designation has in practice impeded land management in the cases of relatively few land occupiers, but rather more have negative attitudes towards it. It is concluded that some elements of the scientific colonialism model of protected areas can be detected.
