The Succession actor, 78, is urging people to support a charter drawn up by the Scottish Rewilding Alliance calling for nature to be restored across 30 per cent of our lands and seas.

In a letter published in the Guardian, Dundonian Cox wrote: "Scotland is a beautiful country - but all is not what it seems. Scotland is one of the planet's most nature-depleted countries.

"Centuries of over-exploiting the country's natural resources have left us with somewhere that looks beautiful but is dwindling day by day."
