Park Authority statement on feral pigs

We are aware that feral pigs have been spotted in an area of the Cairngorms National Park near Uath Lochans. The Park Authority is working closely with partners – including NatureScot and Forestry and Land Scotland – to ascertain the full facts on the ground and Forestry and Land Scotland is currently attempting to trap the animals.

The animals appear to be relatively domesticated and it is likely that this is an illegal release. The Park Authority condemns any illegal release of animals in the strongest possible terms.
