Planning officials are cautioning people against buying land at auctions after learning a plot west of Lochearnhead just outside Perthshire considered environmentally sensitive was scheduled to be auctioned off last week.
Future Property Auctions arranged to sell a 24-acre site with fishing rights beside Loch Voil near Balquhidder where legendary Scottish outlaw Rob Roy MacGregor is buried last Friday with the opening bid set at £111,000.
However this latest listing has alarmed officials from the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park, within which the plot lies, as they have already had to issue a statement this year warning potential buyers to beware of buying other plots of land deemed unsuitable for development.
