The formation of two national parks in Scotland, one surrounding Loch Lomond, the other in the Cairngorm mountains at first glance seems like a dream come true for environmentalists and nature loving members of the public.

However, the locals in these areas will have no say in how the resources in these areas are used, the Scottish executive (Labour MSPs under Londons control) will decide for them.

Expect to see large ugly Americanesque hotels in these parks and local voices being stifled. The Scottish parliament under its labour control will exploit these resources for tax revenue with no concern for the locals or the environment.
