Sir,
Your article headlined Big predators for the Small Isles (The Oban Times, Thursday February 15) was interesting and would be marvellous if successful. However, we must not forget many predators can swim. In modern times, regrettably, it may not be practical or wise and lead to sad solutions in the future.
I point out to you the situation in respect of Norway. Two years ago, a guide there told me that in the summer sheep are moved to the high pastures but have to be accompanied by a shepherd because of attacks by predators.
