straw was in Spring of 2002 when the new Loch Lomond National Park
opened a disneyfied abomination called the "Lomond Experience", a
trippertrap honeypot and designer shopping mall (parking for 8,000
cars)
on the loch edge.The plan is to keep the rapidly rising numbers of day
trippers corralled in one place to protect the natural environment
which
has been under severe pressure.The centre aims to suck in an *extra*
million and a half day trippers per year to the area we lived in.

The bad news is that our old place is on the main scenic, tourist
route to the LE centre :-(. The summer it opened, the huge increase in
traffic, noise, fumes etc made being outside in the garden
intolerable;
endless accidents, 5 fatalities within a mile of our gate, no peace
and a lot less privacy. Yuk. So we got out :-)"

I wonder was that revealed to the buyers in the sales brochure?

Perhaps they're due a refund :-)

Was she a neighbour of yours, Angus? That list of moans you quote,
attributed to Mrs B, has a familiar ring to it :-)

Didn't know of her.

But you're right that's the way locals are thinking of the NP.

Contrary to Malcolm's tirades is seems I'm not alone after all :-)

Maybe she's ignoring feckwitted trolls that like the sound of their own
