The MOD wants to buy over Cape Wrath, and for public safety, due to their use of the land, would prohibit public access to the Cape. This would have a serious knock-on-effect to many businesses operating in the area and to the annual Cape Wrath Challenge.

Seeing 2,500 names on this list feels heavy because I know exactly how much this rugged corner of the world means to those of us who grew up walking its paths. I truly never expected this many people to care about protecting our right to roam this wild landscape.

Seeing this kind of momentum confirms that I am not the only one terrified of losing access to the wild places that defined my youth. This outpouring of support proves that the connection our community feels to the Cape is far deeper than the Ministry of Defense could ever understand.

It is essential that public access to Cape Wrath for the benefit of local businesses and for visitors, as the area is unique
Stunning area walked cape wrath trail 5 years ago & doing it in reverse next year, stop the sale.
I visited the lighthouse on my bike in 1975. It was a wonderful ride, and I want today's young explorers to have the same opportunity. I'm not opposed to closures on specific days for military exercises, but a total closure is a terrible idea, and surely contravenes the right-to-roam laws.
This would be a terrible idea. Cape Wrath is a beautiful area, and to prevent public access would be a serious infringement. Having visited The Cape, I strongly oppose this notion.
The present arrangements on access work well, why change it? This is as important a headland as John O'Groats and Lands End and must be open to the public. It's also an important tourist destination to local businesses.
No MOD abuse and exploitation of Scotland
Right to roam

My dad has been to Cape Wrath and commented that it is a truly wild and unique place and one day hopes he can take me to visit. What a disaster therefore for it to be threatened with being closed to the nation. Please stop this from happening and continue to keep this treasure accessible to all.
