Interactive map reveals Scotland’s coastal litter hotspots

Map produced by aerial survey of 10,000-mile coastline shows rubbish 'at industrial levels'

An aerial survey of Scotland's long and rocky coastline has revealed that large amounts of industrial rubbish have washed up on the shore.

The litter, made up of plastic barrels, fishing nets, timbers, crates and industrial equipment, has collected across large areas of shoreline and rocky coves, often washed into highly inaccessible areas.
