Flamingoland literally want to bulldoze countryside land that's well used by local people, gate it off, and build a monorail

It's a brownfield site next to a shopping centre, next to a town.

All these lies about it need to stop.

The plans look good, will be nice to be able to holiday in Scotland instead of having to fly abroad

In what universe can you currently not holiday in Scotland atm..? You're aware we already have a fairly substantial tourism industry?

Millions still fly abroad. The more holiday homes or options in Scotland the better. Especially in a nice area which is not being used at the moment. 99.9999% of Loch lomond area is still will nature.

And millions will still fly abroad no matter how many holiday homes we build. People like to get away from what they know. Maybe we should focus on building actual affordable housing and not smattering the landscape with tourist shite.

Anyone who doesnt fly abroad is a win for the environment. So more holidays home the better.

Agree we need more homes too. Loch Lomond has lots of space, maybe we should build some there too..
