A LANDOWNER facing an allegation of illegal tree felling near Soroba House in Oban says he is sure he is in the clear, writes Kathie Griffiths.
Graham MacEachen, who bought the plot of land in 2016, said he took professional advice before the trees were taken down last month.
Mr MacEachen, a qualified architect, said by the time the dead, dying and dangerous trees were taken ‘out of the equation’, the number of healthy trees he felled on the site would be ‘well below’ the number that officially needed a Forestry Commission licence.
