Our
proposed fictional development is an extension of the current mountain
railway on Cairn Gorm - one of the mountains within the Cairngorm
range and a popular ski area in Scotland. This mountain railway was
constructed primarily to allow skiers to reach the summit in adverse
weather conditions - a common occurrence on Cairn Gorm. It was hoped,
however, that the railway would also encourage summer visitors, thus
extending the tourist season in an area heavily dependent on tourism.
However, opposed to this development were the many environmentalists
who felt the railway would further invade what should remain as a
wilderness area. |
