eric owenson Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 peter i think the story is correct this time as my brother dennis witnessedthe attack from that liberation.they are now running along so many of the valleys in the midlothian area its just luck that you dont get hit.there are more about than you think.sorry to be the prophet of doom,but thats the truth on that day of liberation.

eric owenson Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 heriot 3-5 mls south of arniston,arniston has been ok for liberating but as we now know we have 2 adults and 1 youngster patrolling the area could be an isolated attack on the old bird liberation that was witnessed but rest assured they will be back ask any one who trains this way how are your returns everyday and thats just training,peregines are all over the lothians and borders.more than you can imagine.its an absolute nightmare.
