The discussion is indeed becoming a tad heated, but then that's what happens when people believe others are interfering with their basic legal rights without just cause.
In an earlier post I asked pt2021 a simple question: viz - do the his Title Deeds include the area of land that navarr was walking on (he should know this). The question has not been answered. Subsequently Iluvsuilven stated that our land runs to stockiemuir road and to the track you like to use but - significantly - failed to specify whether the disputed track actually forms part of their property. This is important, as no matter the other circumstances you do not have the right to restrict access over land over which you have no ownership or control (ie as a lessee or tenant).
I have previously come across cases where people have tried to do this. None have succeeded, for the very obvious reasons I've described.
