Scots fury at dangling dog poo bags left by lazy owners dubbed 'hanging gardens of jobbylon'

This is the photograph that's led to a dog fouling hotspot in Ayrshire being dubbed the 'Hanging Gardens of Jobbylon'.

The stomach-churning snap shows bags of dog poo tied to vines and others tossed to the ground at Manse Field, a popular walking area in the town of Beith.

Disgusted residents have accused 'lazy' dog walkers of turning the area – a popular berry picking destination in the summer – into an eyesore.

One concerned resident said: "It's a disgrace. You constantly have to keep an eye on where the kids are playing because the verges are full of dog mess both bagged and unbagged.

"Beith Manse Field is a good place to pick berries in season but I don't fancy worrying what else you might accidently harvest among the brambles.

"Yes, every popular dog walking place in Ayrshire has similar problems but it's getting beyond a joke.

"The people who think this is acceptable are just lazy and manky."

One resident dubbed the area the 'Hanging Gardens of Jobbylon' after the picture was posted on Facebook.

Another called for a camera to be set up to catch the culprits.
