Make no mistake your dollars and every one else's money is and has been very welcome to our economy well,since, Victorian times and long may it remain so. We would not enjoy Scotland without the tourist industry and the income that it generates.

My beef on this present issue is that the Scots seem to have been ignored here whilst "our" money is being spent on our behalf to advertise this particular event around the world. Now delving into the facts with little knowledge is a dangerous thing to do,but at least in the highlands we have been, it seems, kept in the dark. In fact there are figures that show that well over 50% of the Scottish people are estimated not to know about this event and again,it seems, that the tourist industry here, is happy with this state of affairs ,well I am not. Alright its you visitors that bring in the fresh money into our country and long may it continue ,but it does make us in Scotland look decidedly foolish to not know what is going on!Actually I don't even know when the event is taking place. Assuming this event is taking place in July and it rains more than a bit, the salmon fishing is(I hope) very good.
