Re: I Had Never Heard Of NC 500...
Art, Please don't listen to the ones who don't live in Scotland and really have no idea what goes on, they make most of it up as they go.
I live on the top coast, right in the middle of the NC500 and know first hand what's what here. The roads are too narrow for how it's being used now, a lot of it is single track and during the summer months it turns into the Wacky Races, with people driving far too fast and causing accidents, parking where they shouldn't and leaving a hell of a mess behind them. It's go nothing whatsoever to do with the SNP or their supporters. It's the locals who are the ones who are sick of it. This News item is Durness, a quiet wee sleepy hamlet on the north coast, who gets over run every year with people who think they can just come up here and do what they want, park where they want and drive off to the next village they want to stop at and do it all again. The Highlanders, myself included, are welcoming to tourists who respect us and our communities. Ask yourself if you'd like this mess in your back yard, because we certainly don't.
