As long as the trees in Shieldaig Forest and Flowerdale Forest are unharmed, fine by me ;)

Just sent jn a quick response. Basically saying I supported their plans, emphasising the national popularity of the boulders due to their scenic quality so don't significantly alter that, that as a general rule don't plant trees close to boulders, and please crack on with Rhododendron control.
