East Lothian Countryside Rangers have asked the public not to feed the ponies that can be found at Traprain Law and North Berwick Law.

Evidence of ponies being fed at Traprain Law was found by rangers in the form of carrots and the rangers have reiterated that the ponies should not be fed.

The rangers say this is because the ponies should graze on the natural resources found in the area and play an essential role in maintaining the area and preventing fires.

They wrote on Facebook: “We are sad to say that again we have found evidence of people feeding the ponies carrots at Traprain Law.

“These ponies, and those at North Berwick Law, are wild and have plenty of lovely grasses and plants to choose from.

“It is therefore essential that the public do not feed the ponies as we need them to graze the Laws and improve the areas for biodiversity and reduce fire risk.”
