In reply to drmarten:
So it looks like natural retreats, or whatever they are now called are in hard times, are doing illegal work on Cairngorm and turned the webcam off to prevent the recording of this, as has been done in the past. I'd suggest a fair few photos are taken to try to limit wider ambitions, whatever they are, and mcos probably should get involved. (Unlikely, I know.)
Thing is, there isn't enough profit to be made off the Cairngorm ski resort to make it viable long term. We can have as many council buyouts, community buyouts and shell companies for each, but they're all going to go under, at the expense of our outdoors. When are the council going to pull the plug and start tidying up? That needs written into any new deals.
