Abstract

This Order prohibits absolutely the keeping of mink on any off-shore island except the Isle of Arran including neighbouring Holy Island and in the Caithness and Sutherland areas of the Highland Council and prohibits the keeping of mink in the rest of Scotland except under licence (art. 3). In consequence of the making of this Order the provisions of the Destructive Imported Animals Act 1932 will continue to apply to mink until the expiry date of the present Order, subject (as under the 1997 Order) to certain exceptions relating to the duty on occupiers of land to give notice of the presence on their land of mink not kept under a licence (art. 4).
