Highlights from the Site Management Statement
In 2001 the site was considered to be in unfavourable condition.
• Issues with waste disposal at various locations
   including burnt-out cars in the old quarry near the north eastern edge
• Trees in some areas also obscured the visibility of the features.
Current use by motor bikes is not considered to be affecting the SSSI interests.
The proposed Inverness Trunk Link Road will run close to the main esker ridge
but this will not result in physical damage to the feature.
