I also have to say, most people will agree that the main owner of the estate was a pretty good bloke, most of us who lived there while he owned it loved having him as a landlord and he brought a hell of a lot of money to the place and good work prospects for the locals, a stalking party pays a hell of a lot more than a group of hikers and tents, sorry but its true. Ask those who have lived there for generations who they would rather have as landlords...

@getagripyoutwat you are absolutely right. My syntax is at fault there. for "mean and mainly absent" read "mainly mean and absent"......hope that clears it up.

@jonmarkpullman Wholheatedly agree with the comments of getagripyoutwat when in the 1970's and early 1980's when the estate was owned by a wonderful family who injected large capital sums into Knoydart and ran the estate in a "genlemanly" fashion with style.

" finally delivered from a sequence of mean and mainly absent landlords into the hands of the people who live there."
One of them was my father so I kind of take issue with that statement.
