Why has one of Edinburgh's best views been off-limits for seven years? (www.bbc.co.uk)

Cause HES are eejits! Rockfall has been a feature of the path for centuries. Stick up some signs and tear down the gates. This isn't a hard thing to do!

Nobody pays. Who pays in a rockfall on any other mountain? Land ownership is complicated in Scotland, but a right to roam means a personal safety responsibility. HES should be under no obligation for any deaths, just like the Duke of Sutherland (or whichever owner) isn't if you go climbing Lochnagar
