MANY farmers notice an influx of visitors to their fields after a snowfall – local people wanting to sledge, but who don t have their own facilities to do so. The majority of the time, this isn t an issue. However, when these visitors don t treat farmland with respect, and take advantage of a farmer s goodwill during a global pandemic, these situations can often become problematic. This has happened in the Ayrshire village of Straiton, and it s surrounding area. With the village having been touted on wider social media as the best place to visit for snow and sledging , locals have seen an unprecedented number of visitors, with some holding apparently no regard for lockdown measures.
