"Unlawful Intrusion" claim by Kames retracted by Fish Farmer. @kamesfishfarm challenged to back up "false, baseless & libellous" comment. "The recent footage featured by Staniford is out of context & not worthy of discussion". Nothing illegal to see here, honest! pic.twitter.com/Zdr5oZLCEI

Fish Farmer reported (24 September 2021):
I took issue with the use of the phrase "unlawful intrusion" and asked Fish Farmer to retract the false comment by Kames Fish Farming:
Date: Fri, Sep 24, 2021 at 2:26 PM
Subject: Please retract "unlawful intrusion" comment
To: Robert Outram <[email protected]>
Kames falsely claim filming inside their Shuna Castle fish farm represents "unlawful intrusion" - what 'law' is @kamesfishfarm relying on here? Please retract this baseless claim @fishfarmermag - there is no law of trespass in Scotland! @policescotland https://t.co/JdIgW7SLr3 pic.twitter.com/5gDjyDHI8m

I’ll make that change for now while I look into this. I think your account may have been blocked by one of my predecessors.

I presume you’ve looked into the legal status of structures at sea - as the right to roam law doesn’t apply to farm or other buildings (or presumably boats at sea), on the face of it accessing a fish farm without the owner’s permission would at least constitute civil trespass, surely? Ie unlawful but not criminal?
Also on the topic, are you able to say what measures you take to ensure that your filming missions don’t endanger the fish through, for example, exposing them to pathogens you may have brought in from another farm?
