Short sighted is people who think that the current population can be sustained without an inflow of tourist money.
did you actually think about that before you posted it?

When I lived in the highlands, one of the absolute off-pissers was that they - visitors - didn't understand how to use passing places.
"Use passing places to permit overtaking" means that if you have a vehicle behind you, you pull over - in a passing place - to allow them to overtake. How hard is that to understand?
Yet if you went over to Dingwall from Lochcarron in summer, you could guarantee you'd get behind some ***** who somehow thought it was a massive assault on his puny manhood for anyone to overtake him and you'd crawl along for thirty miles while he took in the scenery at his leisure. I say his, it was usually males.
My dad wasn't beyond stopping in front of them when he finally did manage an overtake, and explaining slowly and clearly just how they were breaking the law.
Interesting. Do elaborate.Most of the poor road behaviour I've seen in the north of Scotland was from motor cyclists and large groups of bicyclists.

You choose to misunderstand. Let me clarify. I wrote:did you actually think about that before you posted it?
as always, nobody is going to much change anyone else's pov, but nevertheless it's an interesting discussion.

Seriously? Do you mean on it or in sight of it?saw plenty of people round there earlier this year.
So specifically what is the problem as you see it. If it’s wildlife or environmental damage, and if so what are the tourists doing that’s causing it?
Sorry to be so detailed but I'm surprised. How many miles away is quite near? It is a 9-10 hour round walk from the road.
Excellent. When I was on Skye we met a German chap in the bothy, had a chat, 100 yards down the path his girlfriend was standing naked in the stream, bathing. This was February. I asked if she was cold, she said yes, but it was lovely. So was she. She seemed unconcerned by us walking by 50 feet away, chatting away quite cheerfully as she reached for a towel. I didn't see any habitats being destroyed or rare species being threatened, just a beautiful young woman washing small quantities of organic material into a watercourse where it doubtless provided food for something.quite close to it. I include a group of European tourists taking naked selfies!
This puts me in mind of a time when walking on a steep and narrow ridge I met a beautiful, naked young woman coming the other way.Excellent.
