Radical plans emerge to buy up Culloden on “behalf of nation”

[Jock Scot]

In my past life as a project manager, I could always find parcel boundaries and designations from the municipal tax/parcel data maps online. However, I'm not in Scotland and don't know if the same are available as a resource. I would imagine the information is readily available but I've been wrong once or twice before.

I may try digging up some info when I get back from the studio but it'll take me a while since I'm starting from square one on this and am unfamiliar with how the system works in Scotland. Someone with some local knowledge could probably dig the relevant information up in a quarter hour or so.

Indeed much of the information will be available, it is perhaps available on the internet if you know how the system works. If there are gaps then questions need to be asked to those who ought to know. If they don't, one wonders why?

I suspect "someone" has raised a genuine concern and is seeing where things might lead and that "someone" is testing the "depth of the water" so to speak. To my mind, without a concrete proposal based on all the facts, rather than some fanciful idea(?) with no facts available other than a scare story, that may have some basis, in a news paper.

What I need to see is a proposal that shows the area of the battlefield. Which bit is needed to be saved? How much an acre is the purchase price? How many acres are needed to preserve the site for posterity? How close to the proposed boundary will future developments come? How much will the Government/local authority contribute? How much will the National Trust contribute? How much are the public required to contribute? Until I have those answers, my loot stays where it is.
