Scotland.
CHARLES INGRAM lives in a makeshift campsite on the verge of the A9 near Bruar in Highland Perthshire.
The 70-year old former garage owner has endured three winters here, first of all living in his Mercedes car before migrating into a family sized tent. In the past year his little camp has morphed into a permanent encampment with at least three tents pitched alongside the car.
A sign on the car windscreen proclaims a message about bent cops murdering his mother and it’s clear Ingram has various issues with society but whatever the reasons for his decision to live on the edge of a busy trunk road, the fact is that he has not been moved on by the authorities. EDITOR’S NOTE: Since publication of this article, Mr Ingram has been removed by Transport Scotland.
In many ways Ingram personifies a problem that is manifesting itself in Scotland at the moment – what exactly is the legal situation regarding camping by the side of the road, either in a tent or in a motorhome or campervan?
