A cursory glance at the news item may evoke a sense of alarm at the mention of about 800 sites that will be accorded less protection under the law in Scotland. However, placing this "loss" in the context of the other 7,000 (or more) sites that will still be protected, the original sense of alarm does seem to be misplaced. It is, perhaps, a clear example of how differing priorities on the use of natural and cultural resources can often run counter to each other.
