Phone mast disguised as tree in Scots farm branded 'giant toilet brush' by locals

Hilarious pictures show a phone mast disguised as a tree - which furious locals said looked like a giant toilet brush.
The 25metre high mast, near Dundas Home Farm, South Queensferry, was granted planning permission in June last year by council chiefs. But locals said attempts to hide the phone mast were 'ineffective' as it stands more than double the heigh of the trees around it - and looks more like a loo brush.

They said it would spoil the 'visual amenity' of the Dundas Special Landscape Area and have a 'detrimental' impact on nearby Dundas Castle.
One objection said: "The application is pretty much identical to the application that was rejected in 2020 by the planning authority other than trying to disguise this mast structure as an extremely tall tree that would seem out of place in the area.
"It would appear that the height of this mast is considerably taller than existing surrounding trees and would be observed from local properties within the listed area including the livery and properties within the listed Dundas Home Farm.
"This would have a substantial adverse impact on the surrounding area.
"There would be an impact on wildlife with bat activity observed in the barn store 40 metres from the proposed site.
"The proposed application is within the conservation area of Dundas Castle and
