The news comes from rangers at the 50,000-acre estate in Aberdeenshire, who tweeted, ‘Disappointed to see so many wipes discarded on the Estate today. Next to paths and monuments. Please remember there are no public toilets open for miles around at the moment.
‘Has it really come to this? About time facilities were made available for people to use as long as social distancing measures are in place’.
Whilst toilets are closed. If you need to pee, please do so at least 30 metres from lochs or streams. If you need to defecate, do so as far away as possible from buildings, paths, water courses and farm animals. Bury faeces in a shallow hole and replace the turf. pic.twitter.com/K4EfGGuAFf

The Queen and Prince Philip spent part of their honeymoon at Birkhall hunting lodge in 1947, and Princess Eugenie has revealed why her grandmother loves it there so much.
She said during ITV’s Our Queen At Ninety, “It’s the most beautiful place on earth. I think Granny is the most happy there. I think she really, really loves the Highlands.
“Walks, picnics, dogs – a lot of dogs, there’s always dogs – and people coming in and out all the time. It’s a lovely base for Granny and Grandpa, for us to come and see them up there; where you just have room to breathe and run.”
