We hate litter. Everyone else does too.

Then for our staff please. in this order if you can fit them all on.

I am sure you all agree it’s not difficult to fill a bag of rubbish and take it to a bin.

Kirsty Disgusting behaviour ... ruining it for the majority of people who love our countryside Community service cleaning up beauty spots across the country required as punishment. The bottom of Loch Fyne often has a good bit of rubbish and drifting down to the bay.

Ian Absolutely disgraceful. Laura Seriously what is wrong with people??? 35,000 6,000 Willie Can’t understand people who want to go to a beautiful place then trash it. Shocking. Claire Just be a responsible adult and clear up your crap. Ken Utterly inexcusable behaviour.. Fries my noggin!! Valerie Why do people want to destroy things that give so much pleasure to others? Erin Don’t leave a mess behind! This breaks my heart Ryan selfish eejits! These quotes are just some of the 16,500 comments left underneath a Facebook post shared and seen by more than 977,000 people.

"Littering and flytipping have never been welcome in the National Park, but since lockdown started to ease we have seen some incredibly devastating scenes where a minority of visitors have decided that it’s OK to trash beauty spots and special places. Our ask is simple: we want people to love the National Park like a local and show this by either binning their litter or taking it home."

Nik Turner, our Litter Prevention Manager.

Respect the latest guidelines

Plan and book ahead

Sustainable tourism focuses on long-term change in tourism practices tackling a long list on possible impacts whereas responsible travel focuses on short-term actions every one of us can take every day to have less of a negative impact on a given destination and increase positive ones.

Be considerate

Get off the beaten track

Say hello and share a smile

Now more than ever responsible travel is our mantra here in Argyll. Our businesses, staff, communities and agency partners each have their part to play - and our simple ask of all our valued visitors is to support us by simply following the steps above.
