You may have read the story below villagers support harassed couple; it seems that it was even more shocking than we thought. I imagine that many would have simply thought, trouble with French neighbours, nothing new there. But in fact the litigious neighbours are British. The couple, called Dunlop, bought their house after the Dysons and probably should have known that the Dysons house has a right of passage to its own front door, as it has had for 150 years.
It seems that an increasingly bitter legal battle has ensued, including appeals by the Dunlops to the Scottish courts (not sure what jurisdiction they would have) and the European Court of Human Rights. Eventually they took their own action and bricked up the Dyson's door and windows!
The villagers have set up a support committee "for as long as necessary" and tore down the offending bricks. The Dunlops have not been available for comment.
