A sad response
The following email was sent to Ramblers Scotland office - a sad response but the kind that you’d expect from some of the right-wing dinosaurs that still exist out there…
Afore Ye Go
There must be many smug smiles at the possibility of the Ramblers Scotland’s collapse through lack of funds.
From an organisation previously thought of as a collection of harmless affable elderly eccentrics, it has returned to its Manchester communist roots as a left wing political campaigning organisation bent
on demanding “rights” to use other people’s land for recreation purposes without any contribution towards upkeep.
If the Ramblers Association disappeared overnight it could transform the perception of walkers from jack-booted militants to welcome guests in the countryside.

This is the kind of attitude that makes it essential that Ramblers Scotland survives.

Angus Macmillan is well known as a troll on uk.rec.walking, where he is ignored my most posters as he only posts provocatively.

This guy has posted the same piece on various outdoor websites and newsgroups. He’s been around for several years always attacking walkers and calling for compulsory insurance and charges for mountain rescue. He also hates national parks and all conservation organisations - RSPB, SNH etc.

I think this is the same idiot that plaqued various outdoor newsgroups a few years back. I think he has some dispute with the RSPB which may have gone to court [think he lost], may account for his hostility to all things associated with the outdoors.
If you are ever bored and want a good laugh have a look at some of his mutterings here http://www.trochos.supanet.com/sayings.htm

The very same post appeared on OutdoorsMagic forum, Cameron.
Sad.
