In reply to ScraggyGoat:
Even if Riddell is having problems this year, he's only got himself to blame - there's a history of sometimes quite aggressive and confrontational behaviour towards other users from this estate that goes back years. Hopefully John Swinney will have a quick Google before he accepts the pish in that BBC report.
Given Glen Lyon has a reputation as one of Scotland's great beauty spots, it's long past the time when questions should have been asked about this family's ability to properly steward a national resource effectively, and whether it might not be more appropriate for ownership to be transferred to NTS, John Muir Trust or even a community buyout if there was a willingness in the local area.
