(Trespass with intent to damage) In Scotland we have a right of access to points A and B as long as we don't cause a nuisance or damage but you can still be convicted of things like armed trespass, trespass in the pursuit of game and trespassing and causing criminal damage Tom

Otherwise his rabbits would be little better than cute bunni
