It seems things are coming to a head with the locals and the tourists and it causing a fair bit of rift between them.
The BnB I stayed at said they are also concerned by the massive influx over the years, despite them benefiting from it. Amongst things is the total lack of funding going back in to the area from the local council (Highland) and campers/campervaners generally parking everywhere/anywhere and leaving a mess when they're gone.
Having just got back this afternoon I'd say it's the quietest I've known it for 10 years for obvious reason but things will come to a head sooner or later. Various suggestions about a tourist tax, ANPR cameras, toll roads etc have all been mentioned and there is also a FB page for the locals where they are posting their bad experiencing from visitors.
Unless the Highland council do something the bubble up there is going to burst.
