Nevis say die

First it was hanging around motorway bridges, now a group of proindependence supporters want to get 9,000 people to form a human chain from the bottom of Ben Nevis to the 4,411ft summit. Environmental campaigners fear for the effect on the glorious scenery.

What, like, Nevis will collapse if 9000 people stand on it?

If they’re lucky, they’ll get a dozen or so lone highlanders with claymores, a few wully dugs and a couple of bagpipe players... Nothing to worry about.

Alastair Browne

There’ll be far more environmental fears if we don’t get independence.

Angus Mackay

It’s a stupid place to stage a demonstration. Experienced hikers die up on that mountain. It is not a place to be taken lightly or abused.

Jacqueline Elston

The tourist path is pretty tame, to be fair.

Stuart Douglas

Make a point as we will never get anywhere under this English government.

Dalriada Dave

Can they not do it on an active volcano ?
